La Paz, Bolivia. Bolivia elegirá presidente en una segunda vuelta entre Rodrigo Paz, un senador de centro-derecha, convertido en la sorpresa de la jornada, y el expresidente de derecha Jorge Tuto Quiroga, según resultados preliminares oficiales que confirman la debacle de la izquierda que gobernó por 20 años.

Paz, de 57 años, hijo del expresidente Jaime Paz Zamora (1989-1993), alcanza el 32,1% de los votos con el 92% de las actas electorales computadas, según el conteo preliminar del Tribunal Supremo Electoral.

El senador de la ciudad de Tarija y aspirante del Partido Demócrata Cristiano (PDC) rompió todos los pronósticos. Ninguna encuesta anticipó su paso a segunda vuelta.
