Jorge Romero has been proclaimed the winner of the internal election for the national leadership of the National Action Party (PAN) in Mexico. The election, held on Sunday, saw Romero competing against former senator Adriana Dávila. Despite not presenting any official vote estimates, Romero claimed to have secured 80% of the votes. He also extended an invitation to Dávila to join his leadership team. The election process has been marred by allegations of corruption and illegitimacy, with Dávila acknowledging Romero's advantage but also denouncing the use of a network of operators known as 'padroneros'.
