Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas left the Institutional Revolutionary Party, known as the PRI, because he was disillusioned with its efforts to undo reforms made by his father, Gen. Lázaro Cárdenas. After splitting from the PRI in 1987, he joined the National Democratic Front, a coalition made up mainly of socialists and former communists, and ran for president in 1988.
