Abstract

The article discusses the outcome of Bolivia's presidential election runoff, which features two pro-business candidates, Rodrigo Paz and Jorge "Tuto" Quiroga, marking a significant shift from two decades of socialist governance. With 95% of ballots counted, Paz leads with 32% and Quiroga follows with 27%. Both candidates advocate for economic reforms, including austerity measures and renegotiation of foreign debt, amid a backdrop of severe inflation and shortages. The election results indicate a potential loss of power for the ruling socialist party, MAS, as opposition parties gain ground in both legislative houses. The runoff is scheduled for October 19, with the new president to be inaugurated on November 8. [Extracted from the article]
