Mexico's midterm elections will renew all 500 seats of the Chamber of Deputies and a portion of Senate seats. The central question is whether Morena and its allies (PT, PVEM) can maintain the qualified supermajority needed to pass constitutional reforms without PAN or PRI support. The opposition faces the challenge of coordinating across a fragmented field, with Movimiento Ciudadano refusing to join the Frente Amplio por México coalition that backed Xóchitl Gálvez in 2024.
