00:00Senator Rodrigo Paz celebrating his first place finish in Bolivia's presidential election.
00:06The dark horse centrist failed to win a majority and will now face former right-wing president Jorge Quiroga in a runoff.
00:13Whoever wins, it marks an end to two decades of left-wing dominance in the South American nation.
00:18Paz's campaign surged in recent weeks under the slogan capitalism for all, not just a few.
00:25This was no surprise.
00:27It might be a surprise for some sectors of power that did not want to acknowledge this reality.
00:33Bolivia is seeking change. It's seeking renewal.
00:37We expressed this as a team with the candidate for vice president, Edmund Lara.
00:42But the vast majority of people have expressed a desire for renewal.
00:46Self-employed workers, transport workers, the large majority of the country.
00:52The runoff will take place on October 19th.
00:55Bolivia's first since its return to democracy in 1982.
