On January 12, the candidates for the presidency of the National Chamber of Freight Transportation (Canacar) registered their candidacies; Augusto Ramos, Rómulo Mejía and Ramiro Montemayor.

Today it was announced through a statement that Rómulo Mejía is joining a project in which Augusto Ramos will head a candidacy to run for the presidency of Canacar.

“Augusto Ramos, promoter of the “Actions that deliver results” slate, and Rómulo Mejía, representative of the “United getting back on track” slate, announced the formation of an alliance with a clear objective: to strengthen the Chamber and work together for the benefit of the sector,” the statement said.

In a message shared via WhatsApp, Rómulo Mejía justified his decision by stating that several transport operators had called for unity. “That’s why I decided to join forces with Augusto, to combine our individual strengths and put them at the service of the Chamber and the industry. This decision is about unity, not division, and about facing together the challenges that the transport sector is experiencing today.”

According to information obtained by T21, part of the agreement is to contribute to building Augusto Ramos’s candidacy so that he can complete his term at the head of Canacar, and in the next election process Rómulo Mejía would be the candidate to run for president.

Last week, after the registration of the candidates and the list of those who will accompany the possible presidents, Rómulo Mejía stated through social media that he had not accepted that list.

“When they registered me as a candidate, they wanted me to accept a slate that we candidates hadn’t decided on. It was a slate created by the current leadership. I didn’t accept it,” Rómulo Mejia, then a candidate for the presidency of Canacar, shared on his social media.

The election process will take place on February 13th, and currently there are two candidates for this position: Ramiro Montemayor and Augusto Ramos.

The swearing-in ceremony for the president elected in the ongoing process will take place on March 2nd.

Last Monday, January 12, the three candidates for the presidency of the National Chamber of Freight Transportation (Canacar) submitted their registrations to occupy the organization’s top position

As a result of this registration, some positions have been made public regarding the composition of the lists that will accompany the various candidates.

“When they registered me as a candidate, they wanted me to accept a slate that we candidates didn’t decide on. It was a slate created by the current leadership. I didn’t accept it,” Rómulo Mejia, candidate for the presidency of Canacar, shared on his social media.

T21 inquired about this situation and obtained the following information. “In the first session of the National Executive Commission of 2026, it was agreed that the Electoral Commission would form a single slate for the three candidates , in an effort to contribute to the unity of the Chamber, and that it was accepted by the representatives of the three candidates: Noé Paredes (Augusto Ramos), Luis Exsome (Rómulo Mejía) and David Villarreal (Ramiro Montemayor) ,” Canacar shared.

As a result of the above, last Monday, after the registration of the three candidates, the three slates were analyzed and it was decided to confirm the unity slate, which included the best profiles presented, resulting in the election of eight representatives from Rómulo Mejía’s slate, seven from Augusto Ramos’s, and six from Ramiro Montemayor’s.

“It is a consensus agreement between the representatives of each candidate and was accepted at the time by all three, plus Ramón Medrano in his capacity as former president and the current president, as established by the statutes,” the organization shared.

On the day of registration, as agreed upon by the Electoral Commission, the candidates were asked to return after 5:00 p.m. Ramiro Montemayor accepted the unity slate, while Rómulo Mejía declined to accept it, and Augusto Ramos did not appear for the process

“I didn’t accept it because I came with my team, with people I trust, hardworking and honest people. I can’t ask for their support and then turn my back on them. That’s not who I am,” Rómulo Mejía stated on his social media.

“Since the start of my campaign I have complied with the agreements, that is why I submitted my leave of absence as vice president of the Chamber, and now although most of the members of the unity slate are not those proposed by me, it is the agreement reached in the Electoral Commission and therefore we must honor them,” Ramiro Montemayor told T21.

According to Canacar, the elections will take place on February 13th , with voting occurring in each of the organization’s branches. The swearing-in ceremony for the elected president will be held on March 2nd.

El cargo Candidates “U-turn” on Canacar Electoral Commission agreement apareció primero en T21.

In March 2026, the National Board of Directors of the National Chamber of Cargo Transportation (Canacar) will be renewed , so members will have to elect a new president of the organization, after the current leader, Miguel Ángel Martínez Millán, completes his third term in that position.

Coincidentally, yesterday, two of the businessmen who have expressed their intentions to run for the presidency of Canacar— Ramiro Montemayor García and Rómulo Mejía Durán —officially announced their intentions to launch their campaign for the chamber’s top post.

In a meeting with various business leaders from the northeast and west, Ramiro Montemayor stated that if he becomes president of Canacar, he will focus on creating a National Executive Council of Administration. “There will be no presidential system, and the strengths of the current presidency will be leveraged,” he explained during a brief message he shared.

Among the lines of action, Montemayor García announced that they will continue working directly with the Ministry of Infrastructure, Communications, and Transportation (SICT) and the Ministry of Security and Citizen Protection (SSPC) to strengthen road safety.

“We will seek financial certification, greater certainty in the operation of companies, the dignification of operators, the creation of the Canacar Transportation University, and the technological upgrade of internal systems to provide better service to partners and branches,” he described.

Several business leaders endorsed Ramiro Montemayor’s career in the trucking industry. He has worked for over 30 years as an administrator at Transportes Mon-Ro , treasurer of the Nuevo Laredo Cargo Services Center (CenSeCar) , and has served as Treasurer and General Vice President during the current administration of Canacar.

Manuel Montemayor Morineau, president of Grupo Mon-Ro, said that Ramiro has prepared himself for this position and has the experience to lead the union. He also “wishes him an excellent performance as president and unity candidate. You have the support of the Montemayor family.”

One of the constants among the business leaders who participated in the September 17 meeting was the desire to seek a unified candidacy, with the goal of strengthening the transportation industry.

Romulo Mejia: Canacar must be strong and recognized

Yesterday afternoon, Rómulo Mejía Durán, general director of Transporte Romedú, posted a message on his LinkedIn account stating: “Today my campaign for the presidency of Canacar kicks off. I hope to count on your support.”

Despite having already held meetings with various transportation groups in regions such as Guadalajara, Rómulo Mejía launched the message to express his intention to seek Canacar’s presence.

In the video, which lasts less than two minutes, the candidate for the presidency of Canacar explains that this “is the only chamber that represents us; it must be strong and recognized, with the ability to have a say and vote on the decisions that move the country.”

To achieve this, he stated that he wants to work in a competitive, safe industry that generates greater value in the country’s economic and social life.

With 35 years of experience as a transporter and current Canacar representative in Monterrey , Rómulo Mejía asserted that he will work to place the trucking industry in the place it deserves.
