The 2024 Mexican Senate election was held on 2 June 2024 as part of the 2024 general election. All 128 seats in the Senate of Mexico were up for election, with the winners serving six-year terms in the 66th and 67th Congresses.[1] Those elected for the first time will be eligible for re-election in the 2030 election.[2]
Before the election, the Senate was controlled by the ruling coalition—a bloc of senators from the National Regeneration Movement (Morena), the Ecologist Green Party of Mexico (PVEM), the Labor Party (PT), and the defunct Social Encounter Party (PES)—who held the majority. The ruling coalition formed an electoral alliance called Sigamos Haciendo Historia, consisting of Morena, PVEM, and PT, with the goal of securing a supermajority to pass outgoing President Andrés Manuel López Obrador's "Plan C," a package of eighteen constitutional amendments.[3] Opposition parties the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), the National Action Party (PAN), and the Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD) formed the Fuerza y Corazón por México coalition, while Citizens' Movement (MC) participated in the elections independently.
In what many described as a wave election,[3] Sigamos Haciendo Historia won 30 of 32 races, securing most of the first-past-the-post seats and making gains in states governed by the opposition, such as Chihuahua, Coahuila, Durango, Guanajuato, Jalisco, Nuevo León, and Yucatán.[4] However, it fell three seats short of a supermajority, with 83 of the 86 seats required.[5]
