Rodrigo Paz wins second presidential round in Bolivia
It has promised to "reopen" the country to the world and to work with all sectors that wish to unite to "move forward" from the crisis facing the nation.
opposition senator Rodrigo Paz Pereira won the second round on Sunday with 54.57% of the vote, according to information released by the Bolivian Supreme Electoral Court.
Paz has won 54.61% of the vote, while former Conservative President Jorge Tuto Quiroga (2001-2002) has won 45.43%, according to data from the EOT's Early Results Transmission System (Sirepre), accounting for 97.68% of the minutes.
Paz and Quiroga were the two most voted candidates in the general election in August, and it was also renewed for the national parliament for the next five years, although no one had achieved enough percentage to win the first round.
Senator Rodrigo Paz Pereira has appreciated the support received to win the second round of Bolivia and has promised to "reopen" the country to the world and work with all sectors that want to join together to "move forward" from the crisis.
After learning of the results of the second round, Paz has thanked the presidents who have congratulated him so far and promised that "Bolivia will regain the international stage step by step" after losing that space "geopolitically and geoeconomically" over the past two decades.
