Two conservative candidates advance to the next stage of Bolivia’s presidential elections.

Centre-right senator Rodrigo Paz and right-wing former president Jorge "Tuto" Quiroga are set to face off in the second round of Bolivia's presidential elections after the first round of voting on Sunday. This marks a significant shift, as it signals the potential end of over two decades of left-wing governance in the country. A notable phenomenon was observed, with nearly one in five voters submitting blank or spoiled ballots in response to a boycott call issued by the former left-wing president, Evo Morales, who was ineligible to participate in this election.
