Left populist wins Mexico elections

The left populist Andrés Manuel López Obrador has won the presidential elections in Mexico.

The 64-year-old former mayor of Mexico City, who participated twice in the presidential election, campaigned for the fight against crime and corruption. He also promised to combat inequality and make Mexico economically less dependent on the United States.

In addition to the president, the approximately 89 million voters could also elect parliament and thousands of regional and local administrators.
