Several thousand people marched through Mexico City on Sunday to demand the resignation of President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador in the first major protest against the leftist leader in the capital since he took office five months ago.

Largely dressed in white, protesters marched down the capital's main thoroughfare, with many chanting: "AMLO, out!" using the president's nickname, based on his initials.

Some covered their mouths with masking tape on which they had written: "AMLO resign." Others waved signs bearing slogans including "Mexico isn't yours" and "You're not Robin Hood."

Lopez Obrador took office in December after defeating the centrist Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), which had held power for most of the past nine decades.
