Bolivian presidential candidate Luis Arce, the leftist heir to former leader Evo Morales, said his country had "recovered democracy" as an authoritative exit poll from TV station Unitel indicated he had won the election in the first round. "Very grateful for the support and trust of the Bolivian people," Arce posted on Twitter Monday. "We have recovered democracy and we will regain stability and social peace. United, with dignity and sovereignty." bur-leg/qan
