Former Chapala Mayor Arturo Gutiérrez Tejeda was the only person to meet the deadline for registering as a potential independent candidate in Jalisco’s 2024 gubernatorial race.
He will need approval of his documentation, and collect thousands of signatures of support by January 3 to qualify for getting his name on the ballot.
A well-respected local businessman, Gutiérrez served as mayor for the 2004-2006 term and Jalisco state legislator from 2006 to 2009 under the Partido Acción Nacional banner.
