Former candidates to elections of June 7 in Mexico have denounced electoral fraud and held the ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) responsible.

In an unprecedented move, ex-candidates to municipal presidents and deputies from various political parties led a caravan of hundreds of people, who carried out a political rally in Queretaro and arrived in Mexico City to denounce before the Attorney's Office unlawful acts during the electoral campaign.

The protest involves representatives of the Democratic Revolution party (PRD), National Action (PAN), Humanist and of Labor, plus the Citizens' Movement.

Ingrid Medina, who run to become deputy by PAN, told Prensa Latina that the demonstrators do not represent their parties' leaderships, but the voters.

For his part, a PRD hopeful José Narro accused the governor of Zacatecas, Miguel Alonso Reyes, of corruption and electoral fraud. "In the state, democracy did not win, but corruption did; therefore, we are demanding the annulment of the vote," he told Prensa Latina.
