The coalition of the PRI and the PVEM for the presidential elections is one of a series of coalitions between both parties that have existed since 2002 and as a result of the PVEM breaking with the National Action Party with which it ran as a coalition in the 2000 General election.

Earlier that year, PRI President Roberto Madrazo resigned as Party President to run for the party's presidential candidacy in the 2006 election. According to the statutes, Elba Esther Gordillo would assume the party's leadership as party secretary. Because of Madrazo and Gordillo's dispute, Mariano Palacios Alcocer was elected president of the party. Following what was viewed as an imposition of Madrazo as candidate, a group was founded called Unidad Democrática (Spanish: "Democratic Unity"), but dubbed Todos Unidos Contra Madrazo (Spanish: "Everybody United Against Madrazo" or "TUCOM"), which was formed by PRI-politicians. nevertheless, Roberto Madrazo Pintado was nominated after defeating pre-candidate Enrique Peña Nieto.[2]
