According to the quick count results of polling stations released by Mexico's Federal Electoral Institute, Pena Nieto has won around 38 percent of votes with a solid lead over the other three candidates.
Pena Nieto's victory would mean a return to power for the PRI, which ruled Mexico for seven decades until its defeat in 2000 by the National Action Party's Vicente Fox.
