Coahuila election and political aftermath
Overview
In May 2026 the Coahuila state Congress swore in three new deputies while labor groups decried the lack of genuine worker representation. Campaigning intensified in the weeks that followed, with PRI‑UDC candidates touring districts and promising security, social programs and balanced budgets.
As the June 7 legislative election approached, authorities warned of possible cyber‑attacks, set up 87 complaint booths, deployed “electoral blindaje” measures, and prepared 60 electronic voting machines for pilot use. Turnout forecasts fell below 40 % and the ruling Morena party’s campaign appeared to falter.
When polls opened, the PRI‑UDC alliance swept all 16 single‑member districts, securing roughly 55‑58 % of the vote and a decisive majority in the 31‑seat Congress. Preliminary results were transmitted via the PREP system, and the Instituto Electoral de Coahuila confirmed the victory, allocating proportional seats to PRI, PT, UDC and Nuevas Ideas while parties below the 3 % threshold (PAN, MC, PVEM) lost state registration.
Morena immediately alleged systematic vote‑buying through QR‑code schemes, filing complaints with electoral and financial authorities. The PRI rejected the accusations, emphasizing a peaceful vote and high voter participation (about 51 %).
In the weeks after the election, Governor Manolo Jiménez Salinas highlighted security operations, inaugurated a new military quarter, launched a 300‑million‑peso disability‑aid program, delivered property deeds, and promoted investment projects such as a 600‑million‑peso metal‑structures plant. Municipalities across Coahuila continued security “blindaje” actions, upgraded patrol fleets, and organized public‑service initiatives, underscoring a broader effort to translate the electoral win into governance and development.
