La Paz: The presidential candidate of the Movement for Socialism (MAS), Luis Arce, won the election in the first round in Bolivia this Sunday, according to an exit poll broadcast by the national television network Unitel, Radio Reloj publishes.
The chain specified that Arce received 52.4 percent of the votes, enough to avoid a ballot, compared to former president Carlos Mesa (31.5 percent), despite government and media support, who sought to avoid the return of MAS to power at all costs 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 predicted by the polls, which also gave the Arce-Choquehuanca binomial as the favorite.
