The National Action Party (PAN) appears to have retained the Baja California governorship in last Sunday’s elections, which were marked by political mudslinging, a wave of violence and a cat that garnered thousands of votes in a mayoral race.
An error in the preliminary vote count system forced electoral officials to order a recount in Baja California, the only state with a governorship at stake. The final results are not expected until the weekend, but with 97 percent of the ballots counted, the PAN had led the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) by three points, with 47.17 percent of the vote.
