PRD, as part of its "refoundation" process, opted months ago to ditch its old membership registry, wildly bloated and outdated, with a new membership drive that had as its main goal to attract 1.8 million new members.
The party is actually well on its way as the campaign, started last summer, has signed up 1.128 million members, of which 64 percent are new. The party has reached and even superseded its goals in 318 municipalities.
Yet there are also a few worrisome trends for the party:
-55 percent of its members are concentrated in Mexico City and Mexico state
- In seven states, including two where gubernatorial elections will be held this year, the party has barely signed up 2,000 supporters: Baja California Sur (run by PRD!), Aguascalientes, Coahuila, Colima, Chihuahua, Campeche, and Baja California (North).
Also interesting to note: The average age of its members is 41 years, and 64 percent are women.
The campaign will resume in January, and run until May.
