THIS is general election year in Bolivia, with voting for Bolivia’s Chamber of Deputies, Senate and president taking place. Nine candidates are seeking to become president.
One recent opinion poll (late February) gave current president Evo Morales a 35.6 per cent vote share, a 5.1 per cent lead over main opposition candidate and former president Carlos Mesa, who was trailing behind at 30.5 per cent.
Another poll in March suggested 64 per cent of Bolivians are happy with the mandate of Morales and 45 per cent intended to vote for him in October.
