The administration of conservative interim President Jeanine Añez had 11 months to win over voters, and failed—paving the way for the return to power of the left-wing party of Bolivia’s longtime leader

In the 11 months since President Evo Morales resigned and fled Bolivia, the right-wing interim government, seeking to undo his policies while dealing with scandal and pandemic, failed to get voters on its side—paving the way for his left-wing party to retake power.

Luis Arce, an ally of the former president in his Movement Toward Socialism party, was elected in a landslide on Sunday. Mr. Arce, seen as more moderate than Mr. Morales, enacted mostly business-friendly policies during a 12-year tenure as economy minister.
