La Paz (AFP) – Bolivian opposition candidate Carlos Mesa on Wednesday urged his supporters to step up protests against what he said was an effort by long-time president Evo Morales to steal the election.
Mesa said his supporters should proceed with “permanent mobilization” on the streets until the country’s electoral court “recognizes that the second round must take place.”
Partial results released Sunday suggested Morales would face off in a second round with Mesa, but the electoral court on Monday released new results that suggested an outright Morales victory.
