At least nine people were killed and dozens injured as high winds tore apart the large, concert-style structure, scattering politicians and attendees.
Around 50 people were injured at the rally for the Citizens' Movement party in the northern Mexican state of Nuevo Leon, Samuel Garcia, the state's governor, said on social media.
The victims were eight adults and one child, Garcia said, adding he was headed to a hospital where three people were in surgery. Many of the injured were being treated at local clinics, the director of Mexico's social security institute reported.
