Anti-reelectionist Party

The Anti-Reelectionist Party was a political movement in Mexico during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, particularly prominent in the context of the Mexican Revolution. Founded by supporters of the reformist Francisco I. Madero, the party opposed the long-standing practice of allowing presidents to run for re-election, which they viewed as a way to entrench dictatorship. The Anti-Reelectionists advocated for democratic reforms, emphasizing the need for free elections and limiting presidential terms to prevent abuse of power and promote political accountability in government.
