Polling consistently indicated that the gubernatorial race was primarily between Pablo Lemus Navarro and Claudia Delgadillo González, who held a significant lead over Laura Haro Ramírez.

Throughout the campaign, the gap between Lemus Navarro and Delgadillo González narrowed considerably, with several pollsters reporting that the race had tightened to within the margin of error.

[50][51] Pablo Lemus Navarro won the gubernatorial election by a margin of 5 points, approximately 200,000 votes, ensuring that Citizens' Movement retained the governorship.

[52] Claudia Delgadillo González contested the results, citing alleged irregularities, including improper handling of ballots, and accused the Electoral and Citizen Participation Institute of the State of Jalisco of complicity.

She sought to have the election annulled, but federal electoral authorities dismissed her claims due to a lack of evidence.

Citizens' Movement (MC), the ruling party, lost 28 municipalities, retained 20, and gained 20 while maintaining control over more than half of the state's population.

MC consolidated its hold on key metropolitan areas, including Guadalajara, Zapopan, and Tlajomulco, but lost Tlaquepaque and El Salto to the National Regeneration Movement (Morena).

The National Regeneration Movement (Morena) and its allies collectively obtained 88 municipalities, up from 30 in 2021 and 55 in 2018, including the state's most populous municipalities—Toluca, Ecatepec, and Nezahualcóyotl.

Polling indicated that the gubernatorial race was primarily between Margarita González Saravia and Lucía Meza Guzmán, with both candidates maintaining a significant lead over Jessica Ortega de la Cruz.
