                   Vote Counting Begins in Bolivia Elections

   by VOA News

   Vote counting has begun in Bolivia's presidential and congressional
   elections, expected to give President Evo Morales a third term in
   office and the legislative majority needed to push through his leftist
   reforms.

   Public opinion polls indicatedMorales had 59 percent support against a
   fragmented opposition. The other leading candidates were business
   magnate Samuel Doria Medina with 18 percent, and conservative former
   president Jorge Quiroga, with nine percent.

   President Morales' left-wing economic policy has been blended with
   nationalist rhetoric and a focus on indigenous rights and the
   environment.
