A man rides his motorbike through the Witches Market in La Paz on October 18, 2025 AFP Bolivia chooses between two pro-business candidates in presidential elections on Sunday, ending two decades of socialist rule that have left the beleaguered South American nation deep in economic crisis. With dollars and fuel in short supply and annual inflation at more than 20 percent, weary voters snubbed the Movement Toward Socialism (MAS) party founded by former president Evo Morales in a first electoral round in August. On Sunday, they will elect one of two die-hard MAS opponents: economist and senator Rodrigo Paz, 58, or former interim president Jorge Quiroga, 65, an engineer by training.
