List Of Political Parties In Mexico




This article lists Political Parties in Mexico .

Mexico has a Multi-party system, which means that there are more than two dominant political parties. Nationally, there are three large political parties that dominate: the PRI, the PAN, and the PRD. Other smaller political parties survive in isolation or by forming local coalitions with any of the big three.


THE PARTIES


Following the 6 July 2003 midterm election, Mexico had six nationally recognized Political Parties . National recognition was given to those parties that secured representation in Congress (effectively, a share of the popular vote greater than 2%).

Under Mexican law, parties are listed in the order in which they were first registered, thus:

On July 14 , 2005 , two new parties were recognized by the Federal Electoral Institute (IFE). Each party was endorsed by more than 0.26% of the total number of voters:

  • Nueva Alianza: New Alliance – originally created by academicians of the ITAM and members of the National Teachers Union.


In terms of their congressional representation and share of the national vote, only the PRI, the PAN and the PRD can be considered major parties.
