Consequence
As a consequence of the elections, the Cardenista, Popular Socialist and Mexican Democratic parties lost their legal registration and they disappeared as such, while the
Labor Party and the
Green Ecologist Party of Mexico managed to consolidate a base of support that, although minority, gave a real political force and became parties whose votes could help the greater parties form majorities.
Since the 1997 congressional elections no party has obtained obsolute majority in the Chamber of Deputies.
