Ecuadorean newspapers and news websites, as well as TV and radio news shows have highlighted the victory by the land and union leader, who according to preliminary reports got more than 50 percent of votes.

Chilean mass media also headlined Morales´ triumph and his first statements after his lead was made public. They also highlighted the joy of most Bolivians and the demonstration of support and sympathy the indigenous leader received when he came to his humble hometown to vote.

Meanwhile, in Puerto Rican newspapers have given broad coverage to Morales´ electoral victory over rightist ex President Jorge Quiroga and how this triumph will mark the beginning of new times in Bolivia.
