Overview

• PAN unveiled a new logo and message at Mexico City's Frontón México on October 18, declaring an end to alliances with the PRI and proposing open candidacies selected through surveys or primaries.
• Party leader Jorge Romero framed the move as a renewal and introduced youth outreach, including 18 new spokespeople to target younger voters.
• Morena president Luisa María Alcalde publicly criticized the event, labeling attendees “los mismos impresentables de siempre” and posting a detailed list of high-profile participants.
• Political scientists quoted in El Economista characterized the changes as largely cosmetic, citing a lack of generational turnover and warning the strategy is unlikely to deliver a 2027 lower-house majority without deeper reforms.
• Opinion coverage noted sparse attendance and familiar faces at the relaunch, while separate analysis highlighted the PT’s recent territorial gains and its growing importance to the Morena–PVEM alliance heading into 2027.
