Bolivians headed to the polls Sunday to choose between two pro-business candidates in presidential elections, ending two decades of socialist rule that have left the beleaguered South American nation deep in economic crisis. Polling stations began opening at 8:00 am local time (1200 GMT), according to AFP journalists on the ground. They will close at 4:00 pm. The election pits economist and senator Rodrigo Paz, 58, against former interim president Jorge Quiroga, 65, an engineer by training.
