The 240 challenges figure appears in one source (Wikipedia, credibility 0.40), which says PAN, PRI, PRD and MC collectively filed 240 challenges against the presidential results, with the PRD spearheading most of them. PAN participated, but the claim credits PAN alone with the filing, which overstates its role.

What we found

Contradicts. The same passage says the PRD spearheaded most of those challenges, and the filing was collective rather than by PAN alone, so attributing all 240 to PAN overstates its role.[2]

Supports. A Wikipedia article on the 2024 Mexican general election states that PAN, PRI, PRD and MC collectively filed 240 challenges against the presidential election results.[2]

Context. The CRS report and other sources on the 2024 election describe PAN as part of the opposition coalition but do not address post-election challenges or their number.[1][3][4]
