The governing Movement Toward Socialism (MAS), headed by former President Evo Morales, was defeated in the gubernatorial races in four Bolivian provinces in Sunday s second electoral round, according to preliminary results that on Monday indicate that opposition party candidates handily prevailed in those races.
Voters in La Paz, Tarija, Pando and Chuquisaca provinces were once again called to the polls on the weekend since no candidate there had obtained more than 50 percent of the votes - or more than 40 percent with a 10-point margin over the second-place candidate - in the regional elections on March 7.
