The Democratic Revolution Party leaders have played a key role in building the organization and its permanence and growth. Unlike any other Mexican political party, the PRD (DRP) has developed charismatic leaders that sometimes have the characteristic to be dominant, other times moderate and more inclusive. Along with this, there is another category of a different quality that applies to administrative leaders, strong, intermediate or weak. The rank of both and its influence on the organization of the party are addressed in this text.
