MEXICO CITY, July 2, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Mexican presidential candidate Jose
Antonio Meade, of the ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI),
accepted his election defeat Sunday by anti-establishment leftist Andres
Manuel Lopez Obrador.
After exit polls showed Lopez Obrador winning by a large margin — in a
major break with the two parties that have governed Mexico for nearly a
century — Meade said the leftist had “won the majority,” adding: “I wish
Andres Manuel the greatest of success.”
