Following a recount of more than half the votes, Mexico’s Federal Electoral Institute (IFE) has confirmed Enrique Peña Nieto as the winner of the July 1 presidential election.
Enrique Peña Nieto, a 45-year-old former state governor, looks set to win last Sunday’s presidential election with around 38 percent of the vote, returning the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) to power after 12 years in opposition.
Remittances sent from Mexicans living abroad in the month of May rose by 7.8 percent to 2.3 billion dollars, the highest figure since October 2008.
Early election returns and the results of an official "quick count" by electoral authorities indicate that the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) is set to take back the Mexican presidency, as well as the Jalisco statehouse.

At least 750,000 ordinary Mexican citizens served as polling station officers in Sunday’s federal and state elections.
Aside from the presidential race, Sunday’s elections will also determine who governs for the next six years in six states and the Federal District (DF) of Mexico City.
