Overview

• Bolivia’s electoral authority’s partial count shows Rodrigo Paz at 54.53% against Jorge “Tuto” Quiroga at roughly 45% with just over 97% of actas processed.
• Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said progressive movements in Mexico and Latin America must remain united following the Bolivian vote.
• Sheinbaum argued that internal division weakens a movement’s connection with the public and cited Bolivia as a cautionary example.
• Former president Evo Morales condemned the process on social media as a manipulated “farsa electoral,” alleging elites influenced the outcome.
• Local reports indicate Paz would assume the presidency on November 8 if results are certified, and AFP analysts say his win would end about two decades of socialist rule during a severe economic crisis.
