In what is being claimed as a victory for "anti-imperialists," President Evo Morales on Sunday was elected to his third term as Bolivia's president.

Morales, who in 2006 became the country's first indigenous leader, won a landslide 61 percent of the vote, according to exit polling. His closest rival, businessman Samuel Doria Medina, had 24 percent.

"This was a debate on two models: nationalization or privatization. Nationalization won with more than 60 percent (support)," the Socialist leader told the thousands who gathered outside the presidential palace Sunday evening. Morales dedicated his win to leftist leaders Fidel Castro of Cuba and Hugo Chavez, Venezuela's late president.

"This win is a triumph for anti-imperialists and anti-colonialists," Morales declared.
