In Mexico City, Beto Anaya's party, at least in the capital, is betting on working hand-in-hand with Morena. Sheinbaum achieves consensus for Plan B to electoral reform, but says she will insist on reducing party privileges. Additionally, the PT sent another signal seeking to reaffirm joint work. Its national leadership, as well as its parliamentary groups in San Lázaro and the Senate, confirmed they will accompany Plan B, announced by President Claudia Sheinbaum, to advance the electoral changes the head of state still seeks. The negative vote from the PT's parliamentary group in San Lázaro on the electoral reform promoted by President Claudia Sheinbaum generated a series of tensions within the 4T that cast doubt on the ruling alliance in different parts of the country. "Mid-term elections are not a walk in the park for the ruling parties of the moment," stated the same source, who is participating in the first conversations beginning to form the electoral offering for 2027. This could complicate the work of the ruling coalition in a state it has never governed, but the PT warns that if the numbers are not good, it will not necessarily be their fault, and the focus could shift to their other ally. "The most prudent thing is to leave the matter in the past," they repeat in the force led by Beto Anaya. Brugada backed AMLO's announcement and will donate to help Cuba. In Mexico City, the PT is betting on retaining the mayorship of Xochimilco, which it governs hand-in-hand with Mayor Circe Camacho. In 2024, it was one of the demarcations that generated the most internal problems due to the attempts of its predecessor, José Carlos Acosta, to maintain the hegemony of his political group. Ultimately, the trend changed, and the current coordinator of Human Capital for the national capital had to hand over power, which he will seek to regain in 2027. In CDMX, however, the leadership of the red and yellow party seeks to reduce the problems that arose at the federal level and anticipate they will continue to work jointly towards the 2027 elections. This is why the PT leadership will seek the re-election of its mayor and, for this, begins to forge new ties with Morena. Furthermore, the PT anticipates that the scenario with the Green Party could be different, as it is not certain that the 'toucan' will remain within the 4T or, conversely, break the joint work. That is to say, it was an issue that was discussed and has been left in the past and should not, unless there are already reprimands from the other side, generate greater tensions than those that arose and ended in Congress. "In the capital, we need each other," a national figure from the PT assured LPO, who anticipated that the unity of the three parties that make up the 4T will be 'fundamental' and 'necessary' for next year's elections. To this end, they cite the example of the local elections in Coahuila, where the PT and Morena formed the 'Sigamos Haciendo' alliance without the participation of the ecologist force. Through various communiqués, they have expressed their 'total and unconditional' support for the new initiative, which will seek to reduce the budgets of local congresses as well as city councils, change the date of the recall referendum, and lower the salaries of INE councilors, among other points. According to the party leadership, the PT considers the electoral reform that was already rejected in the lower house of the Legislative Branch to have been an 'event and not the process' of the political alliance or the government.

Mexico's Labor Party (PT) is strengthening ties with MORENA ahead of the 2027 elections. Following tensions over a failed electoral reform, PT leadership has confirmed its support for President Sheinbaum's 'Plan B' and emphasized the need for unity within the ruling 4T coalition to maintain influence at both local and federal levels.
