| dbo:abstract |
The 2013 Beni special gubernatorial election was held on 20 January 2013. The elections were held to replace the interim governor of Beni Department with an elected executive who will serve until 2015. Numerous observers described the election as an important test of political strength in eastern Bolivia: a MAS victory would signal the retreat of the Media Luna right-wing alliance to Santa Cruz department alone; while a Beni First victory would dash MAS' political ambitions in the department. Prior to the election, Beni had an interim governor, Haysen Ribera Leigue, who was selected by the Departmental Legislative Assembly on 16 December 2011. Governor Ernesto Suárez Sattori, who was elected on 4 April 2010, was suspended following his indictment for irregular expenditures related to a power plant in San Borja, Beni, in compliance with a Bolivian legal mandate that indicted officials may not continue to serve. Early unofficial results, tabulated by the exit poll firm IPSOS, gave Carmelo Lens of Beni First a first-round victory with 52.6%, ahead of Jessica Jordan (44.1%), Pedro Nuni (2.4%) and Ademirzon Algarañaz (0.9%). While Lens and his supporters celebrated victory, Jordan pledged to await official results. On January 22, Evo Morales and the national leadership of the MAS–IPSP conceded defeat. Since Lens won more that a 50% majority, there will not be a two-candidate runoff on March 21. Lens was scheduled to be sworn in on March 1. Final results were released on February 3, 2013 by the Plurinational Electoral Organ (nearly complete results with 997 of the 1000 electoral tables reporting had been released earlier). They showed that Carmelo Lens won 71,161 votes, a 52.27% majority and well ahead of Jessica Jordan's 60,382 votes (44,35%). (en) |
