Significance
The rumours come as the PAN grapples with its election strategy, with party figures squabbling over the candidacy and whether even to run as a single party.
Impacts
Anaya’s recent successes do not yet appear to have boosted support for him running as a presidential candidate in 2018.
Ideological differences among members will make it difficult for the Citizen Front for Mexico to agree on a joint candidate.
Should an FCM joint candidate emerge, that figure would enjoy significant nationwide support and media access.
If Zavala decides to stand as an independent, she could split the PAN vote, to the benefit of Lopez Obrador.
