It was not the resounding victory that polls had predicted but preliminary results show Enrique Pena Nieto, the candidate of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), has won the presidential election. <br /><br />Pena Nieto promised his term would be "modern, democratic and transparent," as opposed to the autocratic style that defined his party's rule for more than 70 years.<br /><br />The PRI's victory was also a rejection of the current President Filipe Calderon's policies. He will leave behind a stagnating economy and war against drug cartels that is raging out of control.
