Description
Summary:The objective of this article is to study the processes for selecting Democratic Revolution Party (PRD) candidates for state governorships in Mexico between the year 2000 and 2015, in the light of hemerographic data analyzed on the basis of the “inclusion axis” (Rahat 2001). The results identified a tendency of the national leadership to designate gubernatorial candidates directly, as well as to nominate a large number of “outside” candidates. This was an electoral strategy that was designed by the party to counter the organizational heterogeneity of its structure at the state level, but which was not very efficient in electoral terms.
