Wide of room\u003cbr/\u003eBolivian President Evo Morales easily won re-election on Sunday, according to unofficial results, getting an overwhelming mandate for further revolutionary change on behalf of Bolivia's long-suppressed indigenous majority.\u003cbr/\u003eAn unofficial count of 88 percent of the vote by the Equipos-Mori polling firm said Bolivia's first indigenous president won five more years in office with 62 percent of the ballots, 36 points ahead of his closest challenger in a field of nine. \u003cbr/\u003eOpponents say they fear the leftist coca-growers' union leader will use a consolidation of power to deepen state control of the economy.\u003cbr/\u003eJubilant supporters waving Bolivian flags jumped up and down in La Paz's central Murillo Square an hour after polls closed chanting \"Evo! Evo!\"\u003cbr/\u003eCentre-right former state governor and military officer Manfred Reyes, conceded soon after. \u003cbr/\u003eHe won 26 percent over the vote, according to Equipos-Mori.\u003cbr/\u003eThe results signalled an opposition in disarray.\u003cbr/\u003eReyes narrowly won opposition bastion of Santa Cruz state in the eastern lowlands with 50 percent, compared to 46 percent for Morales.\u003cbr/\u003eThe three political parties that dominated Bolivian politics for decades have now been all but erased. \u003cbr/\u003eThe last survivor was the National Union. Its presidential candidate, Samuel Doria Medina, a centrist cement magnate, got just 6 percent of the vote, according to the quick count.\u003cbr/\u003eVoters also chose a new Congress, and an Equipos-Mori exit poll said Morales' stridently leftist Movement Toward Socialism (MAS) easily won a majority in both the 36-seat Senate and 130-member lower house.\u003cbr/\u003eThe movement secured a two-thirds majority in the Senate but not the lower house, according to that exit poll.\u003cbr/\u003eIt would need two-thirds control of both chambers to dictate terms of a law on indigenous territorial self-rule, make key appointments unchallenged and amend the constitution to allow Morales to seek a third straight term.\u003cbr/\u003eThe 50-year-old incumbent has been evasive on the latter issue.\u003cbr/\u003eInternational observers called the voting peaceful and without serious incident.\u003cbr/\u003eNearly six of 10 Bolivians live in poverty, and Morales has used increased profits from Bolivia's natural gas industry, which he nationalised in May 2006, to fund highly popular subsidies for schoolchildren and the elderly as well as one-time payments for new mothers.\u003cbr/\u003eHigher prices for the natural gas and minerals that account for the bulk of Bolivia's exports helped the country's economy grow 6 percent last year.\u003cbr/\u003eThe government expects 3 percent growth for 2009.\u003cbr/\u003eA victory by Morales would extend the stability he has brought to a country notorious for coups and that had five presidents in the five years preceding his December 2005 election with 54 percent of the vote.\u003cbr/\u003eThe vote comes under a new constitution ratified by voters in January that allowed Morales to run for a second term and that remade Bolivia as a \"plurinational\" state, allowing self-rule for the poor South American country's 36 native peoples.\u003cbr/\u003eTwelve of Bolivia's more than 330 municipalities were voting on Sunday on indigenous autonomy, which would allow them to abandon modern political structures in favour of traditional Indian governance based on consensus-building.\u003cbr/\u003eStill to be defined by the new Congress are larger territorial autonomies for indigenous groups that could redraw the political map and redefine how government funds are disbursed.\u003cbr/\u003eA llama-herder's son, Morales has championed all of Bolivia's Indians - at the expense of wealthy ranchers and farmers centered in pro-capitalist Santa Cruz.\u003cbr/\u003eHe has been careful, however, not to alienate too many landholders with a land redistribution programme in which confiscation of fallow land has been modest.\u003cbr/\u003eMorales detractors say the president is leading Bolivia down the same path as what they call President Hugo Chavez's totalitarian socialism, while similarly forging dangerous alliances with Iran and Russia.\u003cbr/\u003eBesides tightening state control over the gas, oil and mining sectors, Morales has nationalised the main phone company and signalled his intention to take over the electrical power industry.\u003cbr/\u003eBut many analysts believe Morales will be careful not to alienate the foreign investors he needs to increase raw materials output - they just won't be able to own the mines and wells.\u003cbr/\u003eLast month, Bolivia received a pledge of a 1.5 (b) billion US dollars investment from the Spanish-Argentine company Repsol for natural gas development.\u003cbr/\u003eRelations with the United States, meanwhile, have been rocky.\u003cbr/\u003eMorales expelled the US ambassador and the Drug Enforcement Administration in late 2008 for allegedly inciting his political opposition.\u003cbr/\u003eIn a speech on Saturday, Morales claimed Bolivia was confiscating more cocaine now than it did when the DEA was active in the country.\u003cbr/\u003eUnited Nations figures show that cocaine production is up, however, from an estimated 80 metric tons (90 US tons) in 2005 to 103 metric tons (115 US tons) last year.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex justify-between'\u003e\n\u003cbutton
