Bolivians settled in for a tense, and possibly long, vote count as results trickled in from Sunday’s high-stakes presidential election meant to put an end to political turmoil following last year’s annulled ballot that resulted in leftist President Evo Morales’ resignation.Six hours after polls closed, barely 3 per cent of all ballot boxes had been counted, officials said.
Adding to intrigue, publication of two exit polls were withheld after private pollsters said they didn’t trust their own survey results.Bolivians have long been accustomed to quick preliminary results in presidential elections.
