Morales Wins Sweeping Re-Election

HeadlineDec 07, 2009

In Bolivia, President Evo Morales has been re-elected in a landslide victory. Unofficial results show Morales won Sunday’s vote with 63 percent. Voters also gave his Movement Toward Socialism party a majority in both houses of the Bolivian Congress. Morales ran on a platform of continuing to expand indigenous rights and redistribute wealth from Bolivia’s natural gas resources. Speaking before thousands of voters, Morales hailed his victory as a rebuke of imperial power.

Bolivian President Evo Morales: “The victory in Bolivia is not just for Bolivians. I want to tell you, with much respect to Bolivians, that this victory is, at its base, a just acknowledgment. It is dedicated to the people and anti-imperial government.”
