Pena Nieto Wins Mexican Presidential Election



Weary Voters Turn To Party Of Mexico’s Past, Polls Say -- New York Times

MEXICO CITY — The political party that ruled Mexico for decades with an autocratic grip appears to have vaulted back into power after 12 years in opposition, as voters troubled by a bloody drug war and economic malaise gave its presidential candidate, Enrique Peña Nieto, a comfortable victory on Sunday, according to surveys of voters at the polls.

If the victory is confirmed by official results to be announced early Monday morning, it would be a stunning reversal of fortune for the centrist Institutional Revolutionary Party, known as the PRI, which was thought to be crippled after its defeat in the 2000 presidential election ushered in an era of real multiparty democracy here.
