The PAN's National Executive Committee announced that PAN will not joint PRI in an electoral alliance for the gubernatorial elections in Guerrero in 2011. CEN president César Nava argued that the case of Guerrero was different from other states: In Oaxaca, Puebla, and Sinaloa, the PAN-PRD alliances were successful in kicking out the PRI for the first time in history. Guerrero, however, is today nominally run by the PRD, having won with Zeferino Torreblanca Galindo in 2005. The argument is a valid one, if the main purpose of the alliances were merely to achieve alternation, and as such the CEN is likely to continue pushing for a PAN-PRD alliance in Mexico State, which has always been governed by the PRI. Yet it is no secret that the PRD-PT-Convergencia coalition behind Ángel Aguirre Rivero had also hoped to enlist PAN, a party that in any case has little presence in Guerrero. It's local party branch, for instance, argued in favor of joining the PRD-led coalition behind Aguirre rather than to put forth a testimonial candidate with minuscule chances of winning
Marcos Efrén Parra Gómez is a former PAN mayor of silver town Taxco.
