Since {{circa|2014}}, four political parties have dominated the politics of Mexico: the [[Institutional Revolutionary Party]] (PRI), the [[National Action Party (Mexico)|National Action Party]] (PAN), the [[Party of the Democratic Revolution]] (PRD), and the [[Morena (political party)|National Regeneration Movement]] (Morena). 

Founded in 1929 as the ''Partido Nacional Revolucionario'' ("National Revolutionary Party"), the PRI dominated Mexican politics for over 70 years, bringing to power 11 different governments.

The PAN, founded in 1939, did not win its first governorship until 1989; its candidates won the presidency in [[2000 Mexican presidential election|2000]] and [[2006 Mexican presidential election|2006]].

The PRD's beginnings date back to 1988 when dissident members of the PRI decided to challenge the leadership and nominated [[Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas]] for President of Mexico. Cárdenas lost in a highly contested election, but a new political party was born, and the party emerged as a third force in Mexican politics, even though it never captured the presidency.

Morena grew out of a dispute between [[Andrés Manuel López Obrador]] and other PRD leaders after losing in the [[2012 Mexican general election|2012 presidential election]]. Morena won official recognition in 2014 and dominated the [[2018 Mexican general election|2018]] and [[2024 Mexican general election|2024 elections]].

According to a 2017 survey by the [[National Autonomous University of Mexico]], 74 percent of Mexicans believe that Mexico's electoral system is not transparent and distrust official results. However, [[Freedom House]] shows that popular belief in [[free and fair election]]s has increased ever since.
