Calderon wins Mexico's presidential election



Mexico City, July 7 (Xinhua) Felipe Calderon, candidate of Mexico's ruling National Action Party, won the country's closest-ever presidential election by a narrow margin, announced the Federal Electoral Institute (IFE) after the recount of results.

Of all the votes counted, conservative Calderon, gained 35.89 percent or 15,000,284 votes, and had a lead of 243,934 votes or 0.58 percentage points, over leftist Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador who represents the For the Good of All Coalition, the IFE said Thursday.

The IFE added that the results were based on a recount of the ballot tallies sent from the 130,500 polling stations.

The initial preliminary results earlier this week gave Calderon a lead of 0.6 points, but Lopez Obrador's party accused election officials of fraud and demanded a recount.

Obrador has, however, refused to recognise the final results of the recount, which delivered a narrow victory to right-winger Calderon.

'We will take this to the electoral tribunal and ask them to review the packets of votes,' said Obrador.

The Federal Electoral Tribunal, the ultimate arbiter in electoral disputes, has until Sep 6 to officially declare who will replace outgoing President Vicente Fox.

The winner will be sworn in on Dec 1 to start a six-year term.

Calderon, who is seen by leftist voters as a candidate of the rich, was apparently liked by investors, as Mexico's financial markets jumped on the news of his victory.

On the news of Calderon's victory, angry working-class protesters gathered on street corners, demonstrating against the electoral institute and Calderon's party.

Observers fear that there could be weeks or months of massive street demonstrations and legal battles to come until the Federal Electoral Tribunal eventually gives its verdict.
