Bolivia is set to experience a significant political shift as the country approaches its first-ever presidential runoff, scheduled for October. This election marks a pivotal moment in Bolivian history, with preliminary results indicating that two right-wing candidates, Rodrigo Paz and Jorge Quiroga, will compete for the presidency after a long era of leftist governance that has lasted for two decades. The ruling party, previously dominated by socialists, faced collapse amidst widespread voter disillusionment and economic challenges. As polls close, it appears that Bolivians are eager for change, signaling a potential end to the long-standing influence of left-wing policies in the nation.
