Enrique Alfaro, on leave from his post as Guadalajara mayor to seek the Movimiento Ciudadano nomination in the 2018 governor’s race, posed for photos and selfies with his supporters during a January 4 campaign stop in Chapala.
Speaking to the crowd while perched on a soap-box style wooden foot stool, the politico took digs at the incumbent municipal and state governments for the deplorable state of local streets and highways. He pledged, if elected, to safeguard Lake Chapala in favorable conditions.
