Bolivia's Election: Voters Turn to Business Leaders Amid Economic Turmoil

Bolivias presidential elections mark a pivotal shift as voters reject the Movimiento al Socialismo party, opting for pro-business candidates amid a severe economic crisis.

• In the upcoming elections, Bolivia will decide between two pro-business candidates, signaling a departure from the left-wing politics that dominated for two decades under Evo Morales.
• Annual inflation in Bolivia has surged beyond 20 percent, contributing to widespread discontent and prompting voters to turn away from the Movimiento al Socialismo party founded by Evo Morales.
• The elections employ a two-round system, and with economic challenges including fuel shortages, voters are expected to favor candidates like Jorge Quiroga who promise economic stability.
