The Congress of the State of Sinaloa has appointed Graciela Domínguez Nava as interim governor. This decision comes after Rubén Rocha Moya requested an indefinite leave of absence due to allegations from the United States concerning supposed ties to the group known as Los Chapitos.

Graciela Domínguez hails from El Rosario and has a degree in Sociology from the Autonomous University of Sinaloa. Previously, she served as the Secretary of Public Education and Culture in the state and is currently a federal deputy for the Morena party. This marks the second appointment of an interim governor in Sinaloa within less than a year.

Domínguez's appointment has elicited reactions, including a statement from Claudia Sheinbaum, who emphasized that she is an honest woman. However, no further details have been provided about the context leading to Rocha Moya's leave of absence.
