Bolivian general election, 1979
Encyclopedia
Bolivia
held a general election on 1 July 1979, electing both a new President of the Republic
and a new National Congress, 1979–1980.
The Constitution of Bolivia states that a candidate needs to obtain 51% of the votes in order to be elected President or Vice President. In the elections held on July 1, none of the candidates obtained this absolute majority; the National Congress therefore had to choose the new President of the Republic from among the three candidates who had obtained the largest number of votes. These candidates were: Hernán Siles Zuazo
, Víctor Paz Estenssoro
and Hugo Banzer Suárez
. After three ballots in the Congress, none of the candidates achieved the required majority.
After three ballots in the Congress, none of the candidates achieved the required majority. With this in mind, the political grouping alliance of the MNR nominated the President of the Senate, Walter Guevara Arze. He was elected interim constitutional president for a term of one year.
