LA PAZ, BOLIVIA — Partial unofficial results show Bolivia’s voters have decided leftist President Evo Morales can keep his job.
A private quick count in a recall election proposed by Morales shows Bolivia’s first indigenous president and his vice president, Alvaro Garcia, winning 60 percent of the vote. Compiled by the Ipsos-Apoyo firm, the results are from 750 of the country’s 22,700 polling stations.
Morales devised Sunday’s referendum to try to revive his stalled crusade to remedy age-old inequities in the bitterly divided Andean nation.
Eight of Bolivia’s nine provincial governors were also subject to recall.
According to the quick count, three were ousted — two of them Morales opponents.
