Rubén Rocha Moya, the governor of Sinaloa, has requested a second leave from the state Congress. This request came a day after he returned to office, facing pressure from some party colleagues, according to a report by Infobae.

Prior to this announcement, Rocha Moya met with his cabinet and received judges from the Supreme Court of Justice, which has led to speculation about the political situation in the state due to the context.

The Congress of Sinaloa has called for an extraordinary session on Sunday, August 23, where the governor's leave request will be discussed. Rumors have emerged about possible names of politicians who could be considered to fill his position temporarily, although no details have been confirmed in this regard.

Ignacio Mier, coordinator of the Morena senators, expressed his support for Rocha Moya's decision, emphasizing that he has not distanced himself from the governor during this process. The situation continues to elicit reactions as they await the next steps from the legislature.
