PRI secures decisive win in Coahuila state legislative election

The PRI-led alliance captured roughly 58% of the vote—about 700,000 ballots—in Coahuila’s mid‑term congressional elections, outpacing Morena’s 27% share. Voter turnout reached 51%, higher than previous cycles, and the governor, Manolo Jiménez Salinas, reported smooth logistics and no serious incidents across the 38 municipalities.

PRI officials hailed the result as a mandate for the state government and a platform for future ambitions. Deputy Rubén Moreira said the victory positions the PRI to forge a broad opposition coalition ahead of the 2027 elections, while municipal leader Juan Gerardo Oyervides emphasized the party’s readiness to contest upcoming contests and translate the win into legislative action for the region.
