{{Main|2006 Mexican general election}}
A federal presidential election was held on July 2, 2006, concurrent with renovating both chambers of the Congress of the Union. In this election, the [[Party of the Democratic Revolution]] (PRD), the [[Labor Party (Mexico)|Labor Party]] (PT), and [[Citizens' Movement (Mexico)|Convergence]] (CV) formed a coalition called the [[Coalition for the Good of All]]. The [[Institutional Revolutionary Party]] (PRI) and the [[Ecologist Green Party of Mexico|Ecologist Green Party]] (PVEM) formed a coalition called the [[Alliance for Mexico]]. The Federal Electoral Tribunal declared [[Felipe Calderón]] the winner on September 5 and president-elect. He took office on December 1, 2006, and his term ended on November 30, 2012. Any party did not contest the concurrent congressional elections. Both chambers were completely renewed, and no party obtained an absolute majority. This election has been noted by scholars, including Mexican sociologist [[Jacqueline Peschard]], for the "breakdown in consensus that nearly resulted" as a result of the ensuing indeterminacy and the problems that it has posed for [[Democracy in Mexico|Mexican democracy]].<ref>{{cite book |last1=Peschard |first1=Jacqueline |last2=Selee |first2=Andrew |title=Mexico's Democratic Challenges: Politics, Government, and Society |date=May 1, 2010 |publisher=Stanford University Press |isbn=9780804771610 |edition=1}}</ref>
