Two Candidates Declare Victory in Mexico State Election
The race for governor, seen as a predictor of political sentiment, was mired in claims of voter fraud.
An election in Mexico widely seen a test of political sentiment for next year’s presidential run-off will likely head to the court. The race for governor in the State of Mexico was largely a contest between the leftist National Regeneration Movement (MORENA) and the ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), which has held on to its seat for about 90 years. While a count of nearly all, widespread accusations of voter fraud and intimidation have called the results into question. For now, both candidates are claiming victory.
