Bolivian president Morales wins easy re-election

LA PAZ, Bolivia: President Evo Morales easily won re-election, according to unofficial results, getting an overwhelming mandate for further revolutionary change on behalf of Bolivia's long-suppressed indigenous majority.

Morales' allies also won a convincing majority in both houses of Congress in Sunday's election.

Opponents say they fear the coca-growers' union leader union will use his consolidated power not just to continue reversing racially based inequalities but also to trample human rights and deepen state influence over the economy.
