Results of Partial Mexico Vote Recount Expected Today

HeadlineAug 28, 2006

In Mexico, results are expected today of a partial recount of last month’s presidential election. Second-place candidate Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has demanded a full recount of all polling stations. But the recount will cover just nine percent. Lopez Obrador told supporters in Mexico City Sunday he will continue his campaign for a full recount.

  • Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador: “If the will of the people is not respected, it will be an abuse to the rights of the people which would signify a rupture of constitutional order and a hit against the state.”
