Zedillo wins Mexican election
Opponents suspect fraudulent voting
MEXICO CITY (AP) — Faced
with the weakest mandate of
any Mexican leader in modern
times, President-elect Ernesto
Zedillo reached out to oppo
nents on Tuesday to build a
“government for everyone.”
“We are facing an historic
opportunity to create a govern
ment for the common good in
which the interests of all are
recognized,” said Zedillo, who
won election Sunday to a six-
year term.
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.

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.

ly failed.
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.

suggested he realizes he will
have to accommodate other po
litical parties if he wants to
push through an ambitious pro
gram to create jobs, fight Mexi
co’s grinding poverty and bol
ster education.
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.
