Rafael Alejandro Moreno Cárdenas (born 25 April 1975), often known as Alito,[1] is a Mexican politician who has been the President of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) since 2019.

[8] In 2019, he was unanimously elected as president of the Permanent Conference of Political Parties of Latin America and the Caribbean (COPPPAL) for the 2019 to 2023 period.

[11][12] Local newspapers and magazines of Campeche and Veracruz have also pointed out he allegedly bought the TV channel Mayavisión using his brother, Gabriel Emigdio Moreno Cárdenas, as an intermediary.

Amid criticism about mishandling funds during his campaign, on 13 July 2019, Moreno Cárdenas requested to be relieved of his duties as governor so that he could run for president of the PRI and then was elected.

[13] His tenure as president of his party has been surrounded by controversy,[14] especially due to the audioscandals released by the current Governor of Campeche, Layda Sansores.
