AMLO Rallies Crowds




The loser of last Sunday’s Mexican presidential elections, Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO), rallied thousands of supporters in Mexico City at the weekend to demand a manual recount of the votes. AMLO believes a vote-by-vote recount will find him victorious against rival ruling party candidate, Felipe Calderón, who has been declared the winner. AMLO has until July 10 to file a complaint with the electoral court which must then settle all claims by end-August in order to declare the next president by September 6.
