  2. The PRI used every legal and illegal method to win the elections.
  3. Teachers in schools were forced to influence parents to vote for the PRI.
  4. Media ignored all activities of the ruling party but only focused itself on criticising the opposing parties.
  5. Large sums were spent on campaigning for PRI candidates.
