Marcelo Ebrard, in a speech held in honor of the 22nd anniversary of the founding of the Partido de la Revolución Democrática (PRD), said he wanted the party to decide who should be its 2012 candidate - himself or 2006 candidate Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) - by the coming November.
Ebrard also suggested that two debates be held between him and AMLO in October. Then, the candidacy will be decided by some kind of poll or open primary.
AMLO, for his part, has earlier agreed to the PRD deciding on the candidacy by late 2012.
Yet he notably did not attend the PRD's anniversary celebration, and has no direct excuse for not doing so, given that the remaining PRD-PAN alliances in Nayarit, Coahuila and Hidalgo look increasingly defunct.
