Bolivia’s Presidential Run-Off Vote: Rodrigo Paz vs Jorge Quiroga
• Bolivia’s presidential run-off marks the end of two decades of left-wing dominance, signaling a trepidation among voters.
• Sen. Rodrigo Paz, a centrist, received more votes than the right-wing front runners, but not enough to secure an outright victory.
• Paz, a former mayor, aims to soften opposition’s push for tough austerity to save Bolivia from an economic collapse.
• Quiroga, a right-wing former President, finished second, requiring a 50% or 40% margin of victory to avoid a run-off.
• The results shattered Bolivia’s MAS party, which has governed Bolivia almost uninterrupted since its founder, ex-President Evo Morales, rose to power.
• The official MAS candidate, Eduardo del Castillo, finished sixth with 3.2% of the vote.
• Morales’ high-handed attempts to prolong his presidency and allegations of sexual relations with underage girls soured public opinion.
• Bolivia’s economy has been severely impacted by an annual inflation rate of 25% and a shortage of U.S. dollars for essential imports.
Bolivian Presidential Runoff is important topic for Civil service exam (WBCS).
