Mexico's state elections to boost reforms

Mexico's opposition conservatives were heading for victory in a regional election early on Monday, likely bolstering a fragile national cross-party pact forged to broker economic reforms.

The focus was on the race for governor in Baja California, a stronghold of the conservative National Action Party, PAN.

A victory for the PAN could prove more useful to President Peña Nieto than a win for his own party if it helps strengthen the political accord he unveiled after taking office in December.
