MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexico's next president, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, will push a pension reform and back an initiative in Congress to create a fiscal committee designed to pursue prudent economic management, a senior finance aide told Reuters on Monday.

The leftist Lopez Obrador won a landslide victory on Sunday, besting a four-candidate field with more than 53 percent of the vote in preliminary results. His MORENA party could also win outright majorities in both chambers of Congress.
