With more than 52 percent of their votes in their favor, the Arce-Choquehuanca binomial on behalf of the MAS wins the elections in Bolivia, where a second round is not necessary.
The presidential candidate of the Movement for Socialism (MAS), Luis Arce, won the first round election in Bolivia on Sunday, according to an exit poll broadcast by the national television network Unitel.
The chain specified that Arce received 52.4 percent of the votes, enough to avoid a ballot, against former governor Carlos Mesa, the card that the right was playing to stay in the government that it took by force on November 10 of last year.
Mesa obtained 31.5 percent, despite government and media support, which sought to prevent at all costs the return of MAS to power, and thus perpetuate the plundering of Bolivia’s wealth.
The result must be confirmed with the official figures announced for the next few days, and it surpasses what was expected by the polls, which also gave the Arce-Choquehuanca binomial as the favorite.
