(Excerpt)

"LA PAZ, Bolivia — Bolivia’s socialist movement has been defeated for the first time in two decades, according to preliminary election results, as voters chose a centrist and a right-wing candidate to go head-to-head in a presidential runoff that could bring dramatic change for this South American nation.

Centrist Senator Rodrigo Paz and right-wing former president Jorge “Tuto” Quiroga won the most votes Sunday, according to an unofficial early count that showed the two held a likely unassailable lead in a crowded race for president in this country of 12 million people.

It marks the end of a socialist era for Bolivia, where the leftist movement of former president Evo Morales has dominated politics since his historic 2005 election as the country’s first Indigenous president. As the country faces its worst economic crisis in 40 years, voters here demanded a change."


Other articles cite the large numbers of illegal alien Bolivians who had been working in Argentina who came back to Bolivia for the election as swaying the election. Seems they saw the immediate shift to prosperity in Argentina after Milei started taking a chainsaw to it and they wanted to see Bolivia move towards a similar prosperity.
 
It will be interesting to see if Paz and Quiroga actually get to take over the government before being assassinated.

Something tells me Morales will always be lurking and causing trouble as long as he's living.
