Bolivia Elects Rodrigo Paz as President

Bolivians elected Rodrigo Paz of the centre-right Christian Democratic Party (PDC) as president, ending nearly 20 years of socialist governance by the Movement for Socialism (MAS). With a 54.5% majority, Paz promises “capitalism for all,” emphasizing tax cuts and decentralization, while facing challenges from a divided left and a struggling economy marked by high inflation and shortages.
