During the local Mexican elections in some states of the republic, the PAN and the PRD came close to form a political alliance, such is the case of Baja California, Aguascalientes, Puebla, Oaxaca, Sinaloa, Durango, Veracruz, and Zacatecas.
The political alliance would present a candidate in common across all of them in the 2018 Mexican Federal Election with the intent to defeat the competitive newly formed National Regeneration Movement (MORENA) and the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI).
According to the announcement of the coalition, "[it] is not the traditional party alliance but a broad front, something much more robust with academics, intellectuals, social organizations, and the citizens”, even some party leaders such as Dante Delgado Rannauro, the national coordinator of the Citizens' Movement (MC), have said the agreement would go further than the electoral process of winning.
Some members of the three parties have announced their refusal to such a measure and that they would not repeat such an alliance for the local elections,[10] even though the core of the coalition was designed from the beginning to consider an alliance with national reach, and specifically designated possibility to allow separate candidacies in specific districts, or at the state level.
Where we have agreements, surely we will go together, not only with the PAN and Citizens' Movement, with all the political parties where we find coincidence, in favor of Mexico, always for the interests of the Mexicans.
