Coalitions as a source of presidential power

Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This article analyzes the electoral results of the two coalitions: "Sigamos Haciendo Historia" [Morena-PT-PVEM] and "Fuerza y Corazón por México" [PAN-PRI-PRD], which participated in the 2024 Mexican electoral process, and also shows their impact on presidential power. The main argument is that the coalition led by Morena was more effective, electorally speaking, which not only allowed it to remain in the country's presidency but also to obtain absolute majorities in the Legislative Power and in almost all Mexican states, winning governorships and gaining control of state congresses. These results show a return to political control, as in the past, of the president in Mexico, but not through a party, now through a coalition.
