Bolivia's Morales agrees to new elections after damning OAS audit

Bolivian President Evo Morales agreed on Sunday to hold new presidential elections after a damning report from the Organization of American States (OAS) found serious irregularities in an Oct. 20 vote won by the leftist leader.

 

Morales' victory last month sparked widespread protests around the country.

 

The OAS report, issued earlier on Sunday, said the October vote should be annulled after it had found "clear manipulations" of the voting system that meant it could not verify the result.
