Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador is a charismatic leftist who narrowly lost the presidential election of 2006, which he believes was fraudulent. In the weeks after the election his followers brought the capital to a standstill with a protest that inspired millions of Mexicans and infuriated millions more. Lopez Obrador, known to friends and foes alike as AMLO, is still a polarising figure. His party's decision on Nov 15, 2011 to select him again as its candidate in next year's presidential race added uncertainty to the contest and to the party's own future. Lopez Obrador began the 2006 campaign as the favourite. This time, the Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD), under whose banner he will run again, languishes a distant third. The Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), which ruled Mexico for 71 years until 2000, leads the pack and looks set to return under the slick candidacy of Enrique Pena Nieto, a former governor of Mexico's most populous state. The ruling centre-right National Action Party (PAN) of Felipe Calderon is clinging on to second place, buffeted by soaring crime and a subdued economy.
