In this election season in India and Latin America, there is both predictability and surprise. In India’s state elections, the ruling BJP dominated the wins; in Brazil’s national election, a surprise candidate may defeat the incumbent President. In Bolivia’s October 12 national elections, predictability won hands down, with President Evo Morales sweeping the polls with over 60% of the votes, easily defeating his nearest rival Samuel Doria Medina.
This election, Morales did even better than in 2009 when he won with 53.7% of the votes. His party Movement for Socialism (MAS) also got a comfortable majority in the Congress.
