Movimiento Ciudadano deliberately sat out the 2024 presidential coalition that united PAN and PRI against Morena, running Jorge Álvarez Máynez independently and achieving its best-ever presidential result. Governs Jalisco under Samuel García's successors. Its strategy of positioning itself as the "third option" between Morena and traditional right-of-centre politics is its central electoral play heading into 2026.
Center-left ideology that accepts electoral democracy and a market economy but insists that the state must reduce inequality, protect workers, and provide strong social insurance. It usually aims to reform capitalism rather than abolish it.
