The Right Man at the Right Time
Jul. 3rd, 2006 02:59 pm(AP) Mexico's presidential election was too close to call Sunday, with a leftist offering himself as a savior to the poor and a conservative free-trader both declaring themselves the winner. Officials said they won't know who won for days, raising fears of instability and violence.
Electoral officials said they could not project a winner, which they previously said would happen only if the leading candidates were within 1 percentage point of each other in a scientific sampling of votes. Luis Carlos Ugalde, president of the Federal Electoral Institute, said an official count would begin Wednesday, and a winner would be declared once it's complete.
