Calderon declared Mexico winner;
No end to unrest?

Mexico's top electoral court has declared Felipe Calderon president-elect after ruling on the validity of the 2 July election.

The Federal Electoral Tribunal rejected claims by the losing candidate, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, that the election campaign had been unfair.

A final count gave Mr Calderon victory by 233,831 votes out of 41.6m cast. Mr Lopez Obrador, whose supporters have staged widespread protests, has hinted he might set up a parallel government.
