Political activity within Mexico’s National Action Party (PAN) has intensified ahead of the 2027 elections, focusing on both individual candidacies and strategic alliances.

In San Luis Potosí, Dante Carreón Sandoval has registered with the PAN to seek municipal coordination for the capital, while federal deputy Liliana Ortiz Pérez has expressed openness to a PAN candidacy for the 2027 cycle. 

In Sonora, Hermosillo Mayor Antonio Astiazarán has proposed a PAN-PRI alliance for the 2027 governorship elections, arguing that strategies should be based on “local leadership and regional specificities.” This proposal contrasts with the position of PAN national leader Jorge Romero, who has indicated the party intends to compete alone in upcoming electoral processes.
