The New Alliance Party (Spanish: Partido Nueva Alianza, PNA or PANAL) is a state-level (previously national, until 2018) political party in Mexico founded in 2005.[2][3]

Its creation was proposed by the Sindicato Nacional de Trabajadores de la Educación (SNTE, National Union of Education Workers), the largest trade union in Latin America,[4][5] led by Elba Esther Gordillo, the controversial former general secretary of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI).[6]

History

Areas where PANAL remains registered as a political party at the state level (as of 2020)

The New Alliance Party achieved its official registry on July 14, 2005,

Federal Electoral Institute since August 2002. The creation of this party by the SNTE, a group that had traditionally supported the PRI in every election, caused accusations of treason
for Gordillo.

The party's president is

Chamber of Deputies (an overall gain of 3).[8]

The party logo distinctly resembles that of the now-defunct

Gabriel Quadri, appeared in a wetsuit at his campaign launch, as did Canadian Alliance leader Stockwell Day.[9]

In 2018, the party entered into coalition with the PRI and

INE to dispose of the party's assets.[11] Nueva Alianza and the Social Encounter Party, the other party to lose its registry after the 2018 elections, challenged the result, to no avail. The PNA was officially dissolved at the national level on 3 September 2018,[12]
although it is still officially registered as a party in several individual states, and operates as a political organization in the others.
