With 65.4 percent of the bal lots counted, Zedillo had 49.03 percent of the vote, an insur mountable lead over his rivals, but the lowest percentage ever for a ruling party presidential candidate. The Sunday vote was widely seen as a watershed in Mexican politics, long-dominated by the Institutional Revolutionary Party, or PRI, which has held the presidency since its found ing in 1929. A rebellion in the southern state of Chiapas, the assassina tion of the PRI’s previous presi dential candidate, discontent over electoral corruption and calls for greater democracy had shaken the PRI’s 65-year grip on power Democratic Revolution Party with 16.46 percent. Fernandez said this likely is his final run for the presidency. Both Fernandez and Mexico’s election With 25.5 percent of the vote counted, Ernesto Zedillo of the incumbent ruling party is declared the winner of the presidential election. Approximately 75 percent of those eligible voted.

Zedillo, a 42-year-old Yale- educated economist, has promised to create 1 million new jobs, launch a war on poverty and strengthen educa tion in this country of 92 mil lion people where millions are illiterate. A youthful workforce of 35 million Mexicans are clamoring for the skills needed to compete in the global workforce under the new North American Free Trade Agreement, launched Jan. 1 with Canada and the United States. Business and investors, how ever, interpreted Zedillo’s victo ry as a vote of confidence in the free-market and free-trade eco nomic policies Zedillo promises to continue when he takes office Dec. 1. Douglas Payne, with the New York observer group Free dom House, said Zedillo has raised many expectations with promises to better train, feed and house all Mexicans and now must fulfill the many pledges.

There also have been allega tions of vote fraud. Final results of the vote were not expected before Wednesday. The latest tally Tuesday had Diego Fernandez de Cevallos of the center-right National Ac tion Party in second place with 28.42 percent, followed by Cuauhtemoc Cardenas of the APA/Vm. J. Gastello Cuauhtemoc have said they suspect the vote totals reported by the Federal Electoral Insti tute were off, despite largely peaceful voting, because of a shortage of absentee ballots and some scattered irregulari ties. Cardenas summoned at least 20,000 people to a central Mexi co City square on Monday to protest an election he called “a colossal fraud.” He plans anoth er rally Saturday. Cardenas lost the 1988 elec- Monday, briefly crossing the 2,800-barrier Tuesday and is near its record high of 2,881 points. Before the balloting, the stock market had fallen more than 13 percent in a year that featured an Indian revolt, the kidnappings of executives and the assassination of the PRI’s first presidential candidate, Luis Donaldo Colosio. Meanwhile, the peso strengthened from about 3.36 to the U.S. dollar at Friday’s close, trading at 3.34 to the dollar Tuesday. DALLAS (AP) — Ameri can companies have wel comed the victory of Mexi co’s ruling party candidate for president, viewing the outcome as a stimulant for more participation in busi ness south of the border. “This election symbolizes a green light for investment and for opportunities to sell U.S. products in Mexico,” said Mary Alice Acevedo, chairwoman of the Border Trade Alliance and a board member of the Greater San Diego Chamber of Com merce. The largely peaceful elec tion of Ernesto Zedillo has sent a message of stability and continuity, said Aceve do, who observed the elec tion in Mexico City with a delegation from the San Diego chamber. Zedillo, a Yale-trained economist, resolved to stick to the free-market course set by outgoing President Carlos Salinas de Gortari, for whom the North Ameri can Free Trade Agreement was a leading achievement. The pact gradually elimi nates most tariffs between the United States, Mexico and Canada. Zedillo is also a member of the Institutional Revolu tionary Party, or PRI, which has held the presidency for 65 years. J;) Although all three lead ing presidential candidates endorsed NAFTA, Cuauhte moc Cardenas of the Democ ratic Revolution Party had said he would like to see some changes.
