Bolivia heads to the polls in a tight runoff as voters seek a president to lift them from crisis

Bolivia is about to swing to the right after almost two decades of being governed by the Movement Toward Socialism party. The question that voters must answer in Sunday’s presidential runoff is how far to the right and how fast. The two front-runners from the August election facing off in this second round are former right-wing president Jorge “Tuto ”Quiroga and centrist senator Rodrigo Paz. Both are conservative and business-friendly candidates. But they have different ideas about how to dig Bolivia out of its worst economic crisis in 40 years. The Andean nation is crippled by a shortage of U.S. dollars. Imports are scarce. Inflation has soared. And fuel lines paralyze the country.
