Exit Polls Galore
According to exit polls conducted by Apoyo Opinion y Mercado and some television stations, the following candidates are leading with the following percentages (via Bolivia.com):
Cochabamba: Gonzalo Terceros (CU) 31%, Gonzalo Lema (MAS) 29%, Jhonny Antezana (NFR) 12% (AO y M)
El Alto: Jose Luis Paredes (PP) 60%, Wilson Soria (MAS) 14%, Roberto de la Cruz (M17) 9% (Red ATB)
La Paz: Juan del Granado (MSM) 52%, Pablo Ramos (MAS) 14% (AO y M)
No word on Santa Cruz
However, these are only EXIT POLLS, and we all know how misleading these can be. Other exit polls conducted by the television stations Red Unitel and Red UNO are releasing very different figures, such as Unitel only predicting 33% for del Granado.
In El Alto, Roberto de la Cruz of COR fame has announced that he has won 6 seats on the city council translating to more than 50% of the vote (11 seats on El Alto's city council). This claim is highly unlikely even if the final results deviate far from the predicted 9%

Yeah, Pepe Lucho's numbers really surprise me. I mean, I expect him to win, but that's a huge margin. Also, I'm not sure how many votes de la Cruz can win. Though it'd be ironic, since he was literally whipped into running.
