MEXICO: Boost for PRI in Coahuila
The past eight years have not been kind to Mexico’s centrist opposition Partido Revolucionario Institucional (PRI). Since former president Andrés Manuel López Obrador (2018-2024) and his ruling left-wing Movimiento Regeneración Nacional (Morena) took office in 2018, it has lost most of its power at the state and federal level. However, recent congressional elections in the northern state of Coahuila have indicated that the previously hegemonic party retains influence in at least some parts of the country. The response from Morena, which has denounced electoral foul play, indicates that the PRI’s success has hit a nerve at a time when the all-powerful ruling party has been facing some difficulties.
