The campaign chief of Mexico’s Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has a clear message to investors: the leftist presidential candidate who looks poised for a landslide victory in the July 1 election won’t rip up the country’s laws.

Instead, Lopez Obrador will work to calm investors and business leaders who have been anxious about some of his promises, such as an audit of oil contracts, said Tatiana Clouthier, the daughter of a former pro-business presidential candidate who has crossed to the opposite side of the political spectrum to manage Lopez Obrador’s campaign.
