President Enrique Pena Nieto sought to calm tensions Monday over the still-undecided election for governor of the key Mexican border state of Baja California after both sides claimed victory and authorities said mistakes were made in preliminary vote counts. Complaints over the election in Baja and other states have led the conservative National Action Party to suggest it could pull out of an agreement known as the Pact for Mexico that has become a centerpiece of Pena Nieto's administration. "It is now up to all candidates and political parties to abide by the decision expressed by citizens at the polls," Pena Nieto said Monday, adding that the vote "confirms the strength and validity of our democracy, but also makes clear there are areas of opportunity to perfect the system." The preliminary count from Baja California, with about 97 percent of the vote, showed National Action's Francisco "Kiko" Vega ahead with a nearly 3 percentage point lead. But because of technical errors, that count "should not be considered reliable," said election council spokeswoman Helga Casanova. The more thorough official count will begin Wednesday and conclude Sunday. Vega, who ran in a coalition with the leftist Democratic Revolution Party, had earlier claimed victory, as did the PRI's candidate, Fernando Castro Trenti. Baja California is especially important to National Action, which has held the governorship since 1989, when its victory was the first recognized opposition win in Mexico's modern history a democratic milepost for a country dominated by Pena Nieto's Institutional Revolutionary Party, the PRI, from 1929 to 2000. National Action lost the presidency itself to the PRI last year, but its leaders joined other major parties in signing the pact to cooperate with Pena Nieto in passing education and telecommunications reform laws. Important challenges remain in tax and energy reform.

>>2 while I hate the op and his very poorly hidden one sided mind, I do see these posts as well written to the point where they are clearly pulled from a news site and no sources are listed to make him (op) seem like a reporter.
