TheNew Alliance Party (Spanish:Partido Nueva Alianza,PNA orPANAL) is a state-level (previously national, until 2018) political party inMexico founded in 2005.^[3][4]

Its creation was proposed by theSindicato Nacional de Trabajadores de la Educación (SNTE, National Union of Education Workers), the largest trade union inLatin America,^[5][6] led byElba Esther Gordillo, the controversial former general secretary of theInstitutional Revolutionary Party (PRI).^[7]

The New Alliance Party achieved its official registry on July 14, 2005,^[8] three years after the SNTE created theAsociación Ciudadana del Magisterio (ACM, Citizen Association of Teachers), a political group recognized by theFederal 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 oftreason for Gordillo.

The party's president isJorge Kahwagi. On 8 January 2006, the PNA electedRoberto Campa as its candidate forpresident in the2006 general elections. In the2006 legislative elections the party won nine out of 500 seats in theChamber of Deputies and one out of 128Senators. In the2009 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 theSenate (an overall loss of 3), and 10 seats in theChamber of Deputies (an overall gain of 3).^[9]

The party logo distinctly resembles that of the now-defunctCanadian Alliance, a conservative party active from 2000 to 2003. The logo was provided by an ad agency, purported to resemble a dove.^[8] Despite the discovery of the logo's resemblance to that of the Canadian Alliance (leading one founding member of the party to express feeling "robbed"), it was nonetheless adopted. The party's 2012 presidential candidate,Gabriel Quadri, appeared in a wetsuit at his campaign launch, as did Canadian Alliance leaderStockwell Day.^[10]

In 2018, the party entered into coalition with the PRI andGreen Party (PVEM) to support the nomination ofJosé Antonio Meade.^[11] Meade finished a distant third behindAndrés 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 theINE to dispose of the party's assets.^[12] Nueva Alianza and theSocial 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,^[13] although it is still officially registered as a party in several individual states, and operates as a political organization in the others.
