The opposition coalition, now calling itself the Frente Amplio por México (FAM), this week presented 13 candidates who will engage in an internal primary process to decide a single nominee to run against the candidate of the ruling Morena Party in the 2024 presidential election.
The FAM is comprised of the National Action Party (PAN), the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) and Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD).
The 13 candidates will now need to gather 150,000 signatures of support from Mexican citizens in order to move on to the next phase of the process. That number will be whittled down to three finalists following a series of debates and forums, after which members of the three parties will vote September 3 to choose a winner.
The 13 “pre-candidatos” include PAN Senator Xóchitl Gálvez, the favorite in the polls, and Santiago Creel, a former Interior Minister and current PAN representative in the Chamber of Deputies.
