Bolivia Heads for Run-Off Election After Tight Vote

Bolivia Heads for Run-Off Election After Tight Vote

Bolivia had a presidential election, and it looks like there will be a second vote because no one got enough votes the first time.

This is a big change because the left-wing party has been in charge for almost 20 years.

Rodrigo Paz Pereira and Jorge Quiroga are the two main candidates who will compete in October.

Many people are concerned because the country has economic problems, like shortages and rising prices.

Observers from other countries watched the election and said things generally went well.
