With
more
than
90%
of
votes
counted,
Jorge
Carlos
Ramirez,
Pena
Nieto’s
deputy
campaign
chief,
estimated
yesterday
that
the
Institutional
Revolutionary
Party-led
alliance
will
have
about
241
lawmakers
in
the
500-seat
lower
house,
Bloomberg
reported.
That
leaves
Pena
Nieto
dependent
on
the
opposition
to
overhaul
tax
and
labor
laws,
and
his
PRI
well
short
of
the
two-thirds
majority
needed
for
constitutional
changes
to
open
up
the
oil
industry
to
private
investment.
He
must
now
convince
much
of
the
opposition
and
his
own
party
to
back
a
law
that
he
says
is
needed…
