Mexico's governing conservative party has for the first time selected a woman candidate to run in the country's presidential election.

Former education minister Josefina Vazquez Mota beat Ernesto Cordero, the preferred candidate of Mexican President Felipe Calderon.

The National Action Party (Pan) is the first major party in Mexico to choose a woman to compete for the presidency.

Mexicans will go to the polls on 1 July.

Ms Vazquez Mota beat Mr Cordero, the former finance minister, by almost 20%, reports the BBC's Will Grant in Mexico City.
