BOLIVIA: MAS candidate defeated in Chuquisaca election
President Evo Morales faced a new setback with the
victory of
opposition candidate Savina Cuéllar in the Chuquisaca
prefectural elections.
This now leaves Morales with only two of the prefects in the
country's nine
departments, Potosí and Oruro, aligned with the government.
Nevertheless, with
the 10 August recall vote looming, Morales can at least take
solace in a recent
survey by the US embassy which found that he would easily remain
in power (see
sidebar).
