STORYLINE:
Mexicans woke up on Friday to news of a winner in bitterly contested presidential elections, after ruling-party candidate Felipe Calderon came out almost 244,000 votes ahead in Thursday's official count.
Calderon accepted his victory in Mexico's divisive presidential election by urging Mexicans to leave the bitter election campaign behind and work for unity.
But the country's main leftist candidate, former Mexico City Mayor Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, has pledged to fight the results in court, blaming fraud for his narrow loss.
Obrador was preparing an appeal of the presidential vote tally on Friday that would concentrate not only on the votes cast, but also the attack ads by his conservative rival, a top adviser said.
He has also called on his fervent supporters to fill Mexico City's main square Saturday in a show of force.
On the streets of the capital on Friday, some expressed resignation at the result, while others felt the election had been flawed.
Calderon surged in the polls after running attack ads comparing Lopez Obrador to Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.
Electoral officials later banned the ads for violating Mexican electoral laws.
Political parties have until early next week to file formal complaints to the seven-judge court that can order investigations of the evidence, change the official results and even order new elections.
It has thrown out two gubernatorial elections but has never judged such a tight presidential race.
The tribunal has until September 6 to certify the presidential winner, and its decision is final.
The new president takes office on December 1.
