Mexican Court not likely to recommend recount

The Federal Elections Tribunal which has final authority on elections has said that it will not recommend a recount of a closely contested presidential election. The conservative Calderon narrowly won election by less than 1% over his liberal counterpart Obrador.

The Tribunal has until September to issue a a final ruling on the matter.
