López Obrador Files Legal Challenge to Mexico Election Result 
---------------------------------------------------------------


 
In Mexico, the runner-up candidate Andrés Manuel López Obrador has
filed a legal challenge seeking to void the recent election victory of
Enrique Peña Nieto. On Thursday, López Obrador officially accused of
Pena Nieto of violating campaign finance laws and committing electoral
fraud. The complaint says Peña Nieto helped manipulate television
coverage of the election and worked with local officials to buy millions
of votes.
