Neither the PAN nor Verástegui: three small right-wing parties already have a million members
Three minor right-wing political parties in Mexico have collectively gathered over a million affiliates, positioning themselves for participation in the 2027 electoral ballot.
In Mexico, while the National Action Party (PAN) is focused on modern strategies to attract youth engagement, three minor right-wing parties are making significant strides on the political landscape. A report by Milenio reveals that these parties, including Construyendo Solidaridad y Paz (CSP), which is led by former Party Encounter Social leader Hugo Eric Flores, along with México tiene Vida and Somos Mexico, have collectively surpassed the crucial membership requirement set by the National Electoral Institute (INE) to qualify as national political parties.
As the deadline approaches for new parties to register, these organizations have demonstrated a strong grassroots appeal, attracting more than one million members in total, which could have significant implications for the upcoming 2027 elections. Each of these parties brings a unique agenda, with CSP focusing on solidarity and peace, while the others emphasize pro-life and social issues. Their ability to mobilize supporters reflects a growing trend in Mexican politics where smaller parties strive for more influence against established entities like PAN.
The emergence of these parties signals a shift in the political landscape of Mexico, as traditional powerhouses face increasing competition from smaller factions that resonate with specific voter segments. Their success in mobilizing such a large number of supporters could challenge the dominance of larger parties and reshape political discourse in the country ahead of the next electoral cycle.
