Tens of thousands of people marched in Mexico’s capital on Saturday to protest Enrique Pena Nieto’s apparent win in the country’s presidential election, accusing his long ruling party of buying votes.

The protesters were angered by allegations that Pena Nieto’s Institutional Revolutionary Party gave out bags of groceries, pre-paid gift cards and other goods to voters ahead of July 1 national elections.

The students, unionists and leftists in the march carried signs reading, “Pena, how much did it cost to become president?” and “Mexico, you pawned your future for 500 pesos.” Mexico City officials put the size of the crowd that reached its central Zocalo plaza at 50,000.
