Vidal Llerenas Morales

Vidal Llerenas Morales (born 2 February 1972) is a Mexican politician from the National Regeneration Movement (Morena).

[2] Llerenas Morales graduated with an undergraduate degree in economics from the Instituto Tecnológico Autónomo de México in 1994.

After brief stints as an advisor to the Deputy Secretary of Public Security and a director of Nafinsa [es], and save for a two-year span between 1998 and 2000 in which he served as an advisor to a budget committee in the Chamber of Deputies, Llerenas spent most of the next seven years as a graduate student in the United Kingdom, picking up a master's degree in politics and public management from the University of Essex in 1998, as well as a doctorate in public administration from the University of York in 2004.

[2] Upon his return to Mexico, Llerenas served as a social comptroller for states and municipalities in the Secretariat of the Civil Service (SFP) from 2004 to 2006, and then as the deputy secretary of expenditures for the Federal District between 2006 and 2009.

[1] Instead, he ran as a candidate for Morena; the PRD promptly claimed that Llerenas was offering food vouchers for votes during a ban on electoral activities.
