La Paz, October 20 (Xinhua) – 58-year-old Rodrigo Paz Pereira won the second round of Bolivia's presidential election on Sunday, according to preliminary tallies from the Supreme Electoral Tribunal.
His victory marks the end of two decades of leftist rule and the beginning of a new political era in the South American country.
R.P. Pereira received 54.53% of the vote, which is 9 percentage points more than former President Jorge Quiroga, who received 45.44%.
He will take office on November 8 for a five-year term from 2025 to 2030.
The newly elected president will face a weakened economy marked by fuel shortages, a budget deficit, and a protracted shortage of foreign currency caused by dwindling international reserves.
