Mexico holds its presidential election next Sunday.
The main issues are the rampant violence associated with the drug war, and whether the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) returns to power.
The PRI ruled Mexico from 1929 to 2000, before being ousted by the current ruling National Action Party (PAN).
Reporter Myles Estey profiles one Mexican voter, Juan Pablo Arango Orozco, who thinks the PRI and the PAN have had their chances and failed.
He says it’s time to give Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador and his leftist Democratic Revolution Party (PRD) an opportunity to give Mexico something new.
