Opposition within the Morena alliance, particularly from the PT party, to holding the presidential recall referendum on the same day as the 2027 federal elections is currently preventing a final agreement. This opposition is rooted in past conflicts, such as when the PT broke with Morena in 2024, leading to electoral setbacks for the ruling party in Veracruz. Sources within the PT state their resistance is due to two main points: they deem it inequitable to hold the recall concurrently with elections, allowing President Claudia Sheinbaum to campaign for both herself and her party, and they fear potential U.S. intervention in the electoral process to undermine her presidency. Consequently, the PT's support for Sheinbaum's 'Plan B' remains unconfirmed, leaving negotiations in a tense state.
