The Partido del Trabajo (Labor Party), often referred to as PT, is a left-wing party founded in 1990 to promote anti-capitalist ideas at a time when the 鈥淲ashington Consensus鈥� liberal reforms dominated Mexico鈥檚 economic and social agenda. One of Mexico鈥檚 smaller political parties, the PT, has historically struggled to reach the 3% percent threshold of national votes needed to keep a political party鈥檚 registration. Therefore, the PT has strategically allied with other political parties, most recently the PRD and Morena, to sustain support and relevance in Mexico鈥檚 political system. While, at times, the PT has nominated candidates, most of the party鈥檚 successes have come through alliances with larger parties. In both the 2018 and 2021 election cycles, PT joined Morena鈥檚 Juntos Haremos Historia (Together We Will Make History) coalition and won the governorships in Puebla, Morelos, and Baja California. PT will again join the coalition for the 2024 election cycle.
