Both chambers of Congress were elected in the 2024 general election. There were three competing forces: the Sigamos Haciendo Historia coalition, consisting of the National Regeneration Movement (Morena), the Labor Party (PT), and the Ecologist Green Party of Mexico (PVEM); the Fuerza y Corazón por México coalition, comprising the National Action Party (PAN), the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), and the Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD); and the Citizens' Movement (MC), the only party to run without allies.
Sigamos Haciendo Historia won a supermajority in the Chamber of Deputies. The coalition fell three seats short of a supermajority in the Senate, but defections by the two senators elected for the PRD on 28 August closed the shortfall to one.[2]
