Lopez Obrador Leads After 47.3% of Mexico Vote Count.

July 5 (Bloomberg) -- Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador leads the Mexican presidential election after a recount of 47.3 percent of ballot results, the Federal Electoral Institute said.

Lopez Obrador of the Party of the Democratic Revolution had 37.1 percent of the vote while Felipe Calderon of the ruling National Action Party had 34.4 percent, the institute said. The institute didn't say which regions the recounted votes were from.

Preliminary results -- released on July 3 after counting 98.5 percent of ballots -- showed Calderon, who vows to maintain President Vicente Fox's pro-business policies, led Lopez Obrador by about 1 percentage point, or 402,708 votes. Calderon had 36.38 percent while Lopez Obrador, who has promised to increase government spending to aid the poor, had 35.34 percent, according to the preliminary count. Both candidates claimed victory.

The electoral institute said yesterday that it excluded 2.58 million votes from the preliminary count because the tally sheets that contained those votes had inconsistencies such as illegible markings. If included in the preliminary count, those votes would have narrowed Calderon's lead over Lopez Obrador to 257,532 votes, or about 0.6 percentage point. Those votes will be included in the recount, authorities said.
