Let's start with a rhetorical question: Why did the American people elected George W. Bush as their leader?
As many other countries, Mexico has a political system composed by the judiciary, the executive and a bi-cameral congress; Felipe Calderon was nominated by his political party (the Partido Accion Nacional or PAN) on the elections for president held on July of 2006.
By a majority of votes counted on that day, he won and became president of Mexico. HOW he won is a debatable question: many think he stole the elections, but no certain proof has ever been found.
