Arce is on course for a landslide win in Bolivia

Tuesday, October 20, 2020

Significance

The result reveals the enduring strength of the MAS despite its ouster from office last year and twelve months of vitriolic criticism by the right-wing interim administration that replaced it.

Impacts

  • Beset by the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, the public is looking for stability, interrupted by last year’s frustrated elections.
  • With strong social support, Arce will probably be best placed politically to weather upcoming economic difficulties.
  • Arce will seek to build bridges with centrist politicians.
