Mexico's main opposition party is set for a decisive election victory in the country's most populous state, exit polls show.
Eruviel Avila, the candidate for the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), had a "clear" lead over his rivals to be the next governor for the state of Mexico, which rings the capital, Mexico City, the Milenio Television reported on Sunday, citing exit polls.
The early figures suggested that President Felipe Calderon's conservative National Action Party (PAN) was on track for its worst electoral outing in the state for almost a generation, dealing a blow to his government.
