A BUOYANT economy and the recent launch of universal healthcare has helped Bolivian President Evo Morales to gain an 11 per cent advantage over his nearest rival, Carlos Mesa, for president in the elections on October 20, according to a new opinion poll published by pro-right-wing opposition outlet El Deber.
However, the lead would leave him falling short of a first-round victory and requiring a second round.
As well as voting for the office of president and vice-president, the elections will also choose the 130 House representatives and 36 senators who will serve from 2020 to 2025.
