Mexico locked in election recount drama
Corrects paragraph four to show that Mexico City is five hours off GMT
By Greg Brosnan and Frank Jack Daniel
MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - A recount of Mexico's presidential vote gave the advantage to a fiery leftist early in the day on Wednesday but around midnight a conservative former energy minister was gaining as Mexicans headed into a fourth day without knowing who their next leader would be.
In scenes reminiscent of the Florida recount in the U.S. presidential vote in 2000, first one candidate and then the other had the upper hand as the recount proceeded into early Thursday.
Leftist anti-poverty campaigner Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador was ahead all day but then saw his lead cut back to a sliver late on Wednesday.
Well-heeled supporters of former energy minister Felipe Calderon, many waving blue, white and orange flags in joy, began celebrating at the ruling National Action Party offices around midnight (0500 GMT) as he appeared to be rapidly gaining ground as results came in from north and west Mexico, his strongholds.
Officials said it was still too close to declare a winner.
With 95 percent of polling stations reporting results of their recounted ballots, Lopez Obrador, a former mayor of Mexico City, led pro-U.S. free trade advocate Calderon by just 0.57 percentage points.
Calderon was judged to have won a preliminary count earlier this week by 0.6 percentage points, but Lopez Obrador cried foul and protests broke out in the capital to press claims that he was the victim of fraud.
Lopez Obrador warned of trouble if the recount was not handled properly. "The stability of the country is at stake."
Mexico's stock market plunged 4 percent and its peso fell against the dollar because of the political tension.
The Harvard-educated Calderon is a pro-business lawyer and would be an ally of the United States in Latin America, where left-wing leaders critical of Washington have taken power in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Uruguay and Venezuela in recent years.
Lopez Obrador says he wants good relations with Washington but has promised to renegotiate a North American trade pact to block cheap U.S. corn and beans entering Mexico as of 2008.
CLIFFHANGER
"It's more exciting than the World Cup," said Jeronimo Aguirre Cruz, a Zapotec Indian lawyer watching news of the recount on television at a bar in the city of Puebla.
Initial preliminary results earlier this week gave Calderon the lead but Lopez Obrador's Party of the Democratic Revolution complained of irregularities and possible fraud.
"There are many elements to suggest that the population was cheated," said Manuel Camacho Solis, an aide to the leftist.
Leftist supporters gathered outside the headquarters of the Federal Electoral Institute, or IFE, on Wednesday evening where recount results were being announced.
Some were angry at what they said was fraud against Lopez Obrador in the first count. The leftist, an austere widower, led opinion polls for most of the last three years.
"If there's no resolution, there'll be revolution," demonstrators chanted outside. Supporters erected tents to stay the night and lit candles in a vigil.
Official results of the recount showed Lopez Obrador had 35.88 percent of the vote with figures in from 94.92 percent of polling stations. Calderon, from Fox's ruling National Action Party, was second with 35.31 percent of the vote.
The loser of the recount is expected to appeal to Mexico's electoral court, which must rule on vote disputes by August 31 and declare a winner by September 6.
Mexico could face two months of legal battles over the results and street protests have raised fears of unrest in a young democracy that is key to U.S. interests over immigration, drug smuggling and security. The winner takes over on December 1.
President Vicente Fox defeated the Institutional Revolutionary Party, or PRI, in 2000 elections that ended 71 years of single-party rule.
