PAN in Quintana Roo Rules Out Electoral Alliance with PRI for 2027 Elections

Chetumal, Quintana Roo — The state leadership of the National Action Party (PAN) in Quintana Roo has decided to rule out any possibility of an electoral alliance with the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) ahead of the 2027 elections, citing a clear preference from its membership to compete independently.

State PAN leader Reyna Tamayo Carballo announced the decision at a press conference, explaining that after internal meetings, consultations with municipal committees, and gatherings with members across the state, the overwhelming consensus was to reject a potential coalition with other political forces, particularly the PRI.

“The PAN base has asked us to go it alone, to build our own candidacy with a clear identity and a project that genuinely represents the principles and values of the PAN,” she said.

Tamayo Carballo emphasized that one of the main arguments from members is to avoid nominating external candidates without roots or a track record within the party, as such decisions have caused wear and distrust among voters in previous elections.

Without mentioning specific prior agreements, the PAN leader noted that past experiences supporting figures outside the party created a negative perception among supporters and citizens. In that context, she referenced figures like Carlos Joaquín González, whose backing at the time generated internal divisions and criticism from local PAN sectors.

“Today, what they are asking for is coherence. Citizens want clarity, they want to know who the PAN is and what the PAN proposes. We cannot repeat schemes that distance us from our membership and our voters,” she stressed.

The state leader explained that, although the political landscape for 2027 is still in an early stage, the party will begin an internal strengthening process focused on training cadres, renewing municipal structures, and building a political platform based on the specific needs of Quintana Roo.

She also indicated that the PAN will seek to position itself as a real alternative in the current political context of the state, betting on a candidacy emerging from its own ranks and backed by a solid project.

Regarding the possibility of dialogue with other political forces in the future, Tamayo Carballo clarified that the party does not close the door to institutional dialogue but made clear that any decision must respect the will of the membership.

“Alliances are not ruled out on a whim, but today the voice of our base is clear: strengthen the party, rebuild trust, and compete with our own identity,” she stated.

The PAN leader called for internal unity and active participation from members in building the project for 2027, reiterating that the PAN in Quintana Roo aims to consolidate itself as a competitive political force without depending on coalitions that, in her view, have not delivered the expected results.
