Three-way contest for the presidency
It looks like there will be three main contenders in Mexico’s 2018 presidential election: the candidate selected by the ruling Partido Revolucionario Institucional (PRI) party; Andrés Manuel López Obrador, the candidate of the radical left-wing opposition Movimiento Regeneración Nacional (Morena) party; and a candidate representing a nascent opposition coalition, Frente Amplio Democrático (FAD). Precisely who will make up this latter coalition is not yet clear, but the senior partners would be the right-wing opposition Partido Acción Nacional (PAN) party and the left-wing opposition Partido de la Revolución Democrática (PRD) party. The PRD’s national leadership committee (CEN) approved the party’s participation in the FAD on 25 June.
