He mentioned that the formula composed of Lorena Piñón and Cuauhtémoc Betazos, as candidates for the presidency and for the General Secretariat, obtained eight votes. In addition, four invalid votes were recorded.
Amid cries of “Alito, Alito” and “Alito, the youth are with you,” Pablo Angulo, who is close to the now re-elected president, declared the validity of the internal process and issued certificates of majority for both winners.
The election of the president and general secretary of the PRI took place in a secrecy, as the Assembly of Councilors was held without the presence of the media and there was no broadcast, there was only a video at the end of the election process to give the results.
This reelection took place amid controversy, as former party presidents filed complaints and petitions before the National Electoral Institute (INE) and the Federal Judicial Tribunal (TEPJF) to prevent Alejandro Moreno from remaining as leader of the PRI for another four years.
The last of these was last Monday, when Dulce María Sauri, Pedro Joaquín Coldwell, Enrique Ochoa and Aurelio Nuño asked the administrative electoral body to call extraordinary session to define the situation of the party in light of the changes made to its statutes on July 7, which allowed Alejandro Moreno to compete for the presidency again.
