The National Governors Conference (Spanish: Conferencia Nacional de Gobernadores) is a non-governmental organization in Mexico that consists of the governors of the states of Mexico.[1] The organization, known by the acronym CONAGO, was established in 2001 with a meeting of 20 governors in Mazatlan. The following year, 2002, marked the first meeting of CONAGO at which the governors of all 31 states attended.[2]

Governors of ten states left the CONAGO on September 7, 2020.[3] The governors all belong to the Alianza Federalista (Federalist Alliance) and they have criticized the government's responses to the health and economic responses to the COVID-19 pandemic in Mexico. The governors involved are Javier Corral Jurado (CHH  PRI, chairman), José Rosas Aispuro (DUR  PAN), Enrique Alfaro Ramírez (JAL, Independent), Silvano Aureoles Conejo (MIC PRD), Francisco Javier García Cabeza de Vaca (TAM, PRD), José Ignacio Peralta (COL MORENA), Miguel Ángel Riquelme Solís (COA MORENA), Jaime Rodríguez Calderón (NLE, Independent), Diego Sinhué Rodríguez Vallejo (GUA  PAN, and Martín Orozco Sandoval (AGU  PAN).[3]
