Mexicos ruling party managed to hold onto the governorship of the countrys largest state, according to near-complete election results Monday -- which their leftist rivals rejected, vowing a fight.
With 97.7 percent of the ballots counted in the crucial state of Mexico, Alfredo del Mazo of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) had 33.7 percent of the vote to 30.8 percent for his top rival, Delfina Gomez of the National Regeneration Movement (Morena).
