'MAS will restore stability to Bolivia,' says presidential candidate
especiales
'We trust the wisdom of the people,' said the former Minister of Economy during most of the Morales administration (2006-2019).
Arce and his running mate, former Foreign Minister David Choquehuanca (2006-2017), lead the voting intention ahead of the elections on October 18 with 26.2 percent, according to a recent poll by the consulting CIESMORI company.
The public opinion study ranked former president Carlos Mesa (2003-2005) and Jeanine Añez - at the head of the current de facto government - behind, with 17 and 10 percentage points, respectively.
Arce would win, according to the Gallup poll, in the departments of La Paz, Oruro, Potosi, Tarija, Pando, Cochabamba, and he would lose votes in Santa Cruz, an opposition stronghold to the MAS.
