Alianza Social Yucatán gains registration as new state political party; will compete in 2027

Yucatán, Mexico – The General Council of the Institute of Electoral and Citizen Participation (Iepac) has authorized the registration of a new state political party, Alianza Social Yucatán. This addition increases the total number of registered political parties in the state to eight, joining Morena, PVEM, PT, PRI, Nueva Alianza, Movimiento Ciudadano, and PAN.

Alianza Social Yucatán is set to make its electoral debut in the 2027 elections. As a state-level organization, it will be eligible to nominate candidates for municipal presidencies and local deputy positions.

The formation of this new party follows a year-long process with the Iepac, which began in April 2025. Three citizen organizations initiated the process by holding constitutive assemblies, but only Alianza Social Yucatán successfully obtained its registration. The other two organizations, "Jalacho’ob mexicana" and "Socialista del Sureste," did not secure approval from the Iepac. Notably, "Socialista del Sureste" failed to achieve registration for the second time.
