    MEXICO City, July 2 (Xinhua) -- Two front-runners in Sunday's Mexican presidential election have both claimed victory in the vote despite the announcement by the electoral authorities that the race was too close to call.

    Leftist Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, from the Revolutionary Democratic Party (PRD), told supporters that he had an "irreversible" lead.

    "According to our data, we have won the vote by at least 500,000 votes. This is irreversible," he said.

    Meanwhile, his major rival, Felipe Calderon, from the ruling National Action Party, also said he had no doubt he had won the election.

    Luis Ugalde, president of the Federal Electoral Institute, announced, three hours after the voting concluded, that the presidential election was too close to call and results will only not be announced at least until Wednesday.

    "The margin of difference is too narrow, it is not possible to announce which candidate won," he said. Enditem
