Anti-establishment leftist Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador won Mexico's presidential election today with more than half the vote, according to an official projection of the results, a resounding rejection of the country's established parties.
The fiery leftist known as "AMLO" won between 53 and 53.8 per cent of the vote, according to a projection by the National Electoral Institute, based on a sample of polling stations.
It gave Ricardo Anaya of the conservative National Action Party (PAN) between 22.1 and 22.8 per cent, Jose Antonio Meade of the ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) between 15.7 and 16.3 per cent, and independent candidate Jaime Rodriguez between 5.3 and 5.5 per cent.
