TIJUANA — The gubernatorial candidate in Baja California for Mexico’s ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party conceded defeat Saturday in the state's July 7 election.

“There was not the quantity of votes that we would have liked,” said the PRI’s Fernando Castro Trenti as appeared before journalists and supporters at a hotel in the city’s Rio Zone. In a 20-minute speech, he never named the winning candidate, Francisco Vega de Lamadrid of Mexico’s National Action Party, the PAN.
Castro Trenti’s statement has given some finality to a bitterly competitive campaign and a confusing aftermath generated by questions about the reliability of the preliminary vote count. Official results from the Baja California Institute of Electoral Participation are expected early next week.
