MEXICO CITY: The Mexican President, Vicente Fox's National Action Party (PAN) lost one-quarter of its seats in Mexico's lower House of Congress, a Federal electoral official said on Sunday, confirming frustration among voters with the President's first three years in office. Mr. Fox's victory in July 2000 ended 71 years of rule by the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI). On Sunday, Federal electoral officials announced final vote tallies and party percentages, but refused to give a final breakdown in Congress. However, a high ranking electoral official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the PRI had 224 seats, up from its current level of 207 and just 27 votes short of a majority. The PAN dropped to 153 seats, and the leftist Democratic Revolution Party (PRD) nearly doubled its stake in the lower House, winning 95 spots. The remaining 28 seats were divided among smaller parties. AP
