In the 2012 presidential elections in Mexico , Quadri de la Torre ran as the official candidate of his Nueva Alianzia (PANAL) party . By registering as a candidate, the PANAL broke a collation with the Partido Revolucionario Institucional (PRI) and the Partido Verde Ecologista de México (PVEM). Afterwards, an alliance was up for discussion for some candidates of the Partido Acción Nacional (PAN), but this idea was rejected by Josefina Vázquez Mota , who was later elected as the official candidate . At the beginning of the election campaign, Quadri only achieved 0.06% in polls and was not noticed by the media, which only spoke of three candidates until the television debate on May 7th . During the debate, however, he was able to convince and his polls shot in some cases to over 10%. In the election on July 1, 2012 Quadri reached fourth and thus last place among the registered candidates and about 1.13 million votes, which corresponds to 2.3%.
