The New Alliance Party achieved its official registry on July 14, 2005, three years after the SNTE created the
Asociación Ciudadana del Magisterio (ACM, Citizen Association of Teachers), a political group recognized by the
Federal Electoral Institute since August 2002. The creation of this party by the SNTE, a group that had traditionally supported the PRI in every election, caused accusations of
treason for Gordillo. The party's president is
Jorge Kahwagi. On 8 January 2006, the PNA elected
Roberto Campa as its candidate for
president in the
2006 general elections. In the
2006 legislative elections the party won nine out of 500 seats in the
Chamber of Deputies and one out of 128
Senators. In the
2009 legislative elections the party lost one seat in the Chamber of Deputies, leaving it with eight seats. In the 2012 legislative elections, PANAL won 2 seats in the
Senate (an overall loss of 3), and 10 seats in the
Chamber of Deputies (an overall gain of 3). The party logo distinctly resembles that of the now-defunct
Canadian Alliance, a conservative party active from 2000 to 2003. The logo was provided by an ad agency, purported to resemble a dove. In 2018, the party entered into coalition with the PRI and
Green Party (PVEM) to support the nomination of
José Antonio Meade. Meade finished a distant third behind
Andrés Manuel López Obrador, but the results for New Alliance were worse. The party failed to attract three percent of the vote in all three elections for president, proportional representation federal deputies, and senators, which under Mexican law prompts the loss of its federal registry and the appointment of a liquidator by the
INE to dispose of the party's assets. Nueva Alianza and the
Social Encounter Party, the other party to lose its registry after the 2018 elections, challenged the result, to no avail. The PNA was officially dissolved at the national level on 3 September 2018, although it is still officially registered as a party in several individual states, and operates as a political organization in the others. ==Electoral history==
