PAN leadership approves alliance in Mexico State. Of note: Talks with PT and Convergencia

With no opposing votes and merely one abstention, the national executive committee of the Partido Acción Nacional (PAN) voted in favor of "exploring" an alliance with the Partido de la Revolución Democrática (PRD) in the state of Mexico.


While this outcome was a foregone decision, it is of note that PAN national president César Neva revealed that PAN is also having talks with the Partido del Trabajo (PT) and Convergencia, the two smaller parties aligned with AMLO and who like him publicly and loudly reject any electoral alliance with PAN in Mexico State. It indicates that should a PAN-PRD common candidate materialize, significant sections of both parties may break with AMLO's intransigent line to support the candidate rather than any quixotic run by AMLO's "own" left-wing candidate.
