Labor Party in Nuevo León: Seeking Unity Before Elections

The Labor Party (PT), after breaking with the MORENA coalition in Nuevo León, now seeks to restore alliances. Despite doubts about its electoral effectiveness, PT leaders plan to strengthen the national alliance, especially under pressure from MORENA's leadership. The party's weakening influence in the region and its future strategies are being analyzed.


Labor Party in Nuevo León: Seeking Unity Before Elections

In 2024, the Labor Party (PT) distanced itself from the coalition with Morena in Nuevo León, but now seeks to show unity ahead of the upcoming electoral process. Although they believe that ballot partnership could benefit their project in 2027, they think part of their operation could go to another political current. This is understandable, as historically the PT has maintained its territorial structure in Nuevo León by approaching the PRI, and from 2024 onwards, it operated for MC. Even the local deputy, Guadalupe Rodríguez, is another vote for Palacio de Cantera in the local Congress. Another not insignificant factor analyzed by the 4T and other political factions is that the PT's operation strengthens in a minimal sector of Monterrey and continues to weaken, a situation that makes them electorally unprofitable. However, the leaders of the 'guinda' party (PT) still doubt the party's ties with Palacio de Cantera and the PRI-PAN Front. According to what LPO could learn, the leaders of the PT, Alberto Anaya and Guadalupe Rodríguez, will seek to maintain the alliance that is being promoted at the national level. This also responds to a certain pressure after a meeting in Coahuila where the leader of Morena, Luisa Alcalde Luján, strengthened an alliance between Morena-PT for the intermediate elections in the neighboring state. Meanwhile, the leadership of Morena still distrusts the PT's operation in the entity. Of course, they continue to follow closely—while remaining on the sidelines—what happens with the electoral reform, where the 'petistas' (PT members) have been frontal about the disappearance of plurinominal positions and the reduction of prerogatives. Furthermore, after the call from President Claudia Sheinbaum to avoid breaking the alliance, they have intensified their displays of unity in events and during the visit of first-level officials. In the last elections, they barely managed to get a little more than 9,000 votes in the capital—50,000 in the State—and it is estimated that in 2027 they will not exceed this metric.
