	 CAMPECHE, Mexico10 (Reuter) - Mexico's two largest political  
opposition parties on Wednesday filed formal charges of fraud 
against the ruling party in the southeastern state of Campeche. 
	 The leftist Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD) said  
late Wednesday it had turned over evidence to judicial officials 
of election ``irregularities'' in at least 200 voting stations 
during Sunday's gubernatorial election. 
	 The irregularities ranged from vote buying to intimidation  
of voters, PRD officials said. 
	 ``There are about 200 contested voting stations,'' the  
party's representative at the State Electoral Institute, Juan 
Gonzalez, told Reuters. He said there were a total of 753 voting 
stations during the election. 
	 The conservative National Action Party (PAN) also denounced  
irregularities in 46 polling stations on Wednesday, PAN 
officials said. 
	 Campeche, a poor state on the Yucatan peninsula that is home  
to most of Mexico's oil reserves, voted to elect a new governor, 
one of six such races held during Sunday's national 
congressional elections. 
	 The PRD, while winning the first-ever election race for  
Mexico City and polling better than expected in the 
congressional races, lost the Campeche race according to 
preliminary results. 
	 Ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) candidate  
Antonio Gonzalez Curi garnered 99,513 votes versus 83,523 for 
the PRD candidate Layda Sansores. Final results were expected on 
Thursday. 
	 PAN state leader Jorge Vaqueiro told Reuters the  
pro-business party believed it had won the mayoral race in the 
state capital instead of the PRI, which has held power in Mexico 
since 1929.
