PAN opens citizen candidacy selection for the first time in its history ahead
The National Action Party has launched an unprecedented initiative to select candidates through public surveys, marking a strategic shift toward greater transparency and grassroots engagement as it prepares for future electoral cycles starting with Mexico City's mayoral race later this year. This new approach aims to rebuild the party's organizational strength by allowing citizens directly define their preferred representatives rather than relying solely on internal appointments or traditional primaries that have historically yielded mixed results in recent elections like 2018 and 2024.
