Bolivia's President ends 5-day hunger strike
From ABC ONLINE:
Bolivian President Evo Morales has ended a five-day hunger strike after lawmakers approved a controversial electoral law that allows him to run for a second term and seek a majority in Congress.
The law sets presidential and legislative elections for December 6, assigns a small number of congressional seats to poor, indigenous areas where Mr Morales is popular, and allows Bolivians living abroad to vote for the first time.
Mr Morales began his hunger strike last Thursday after opposition lawmakers blocked a vote on the bill.
He slept for five nights on a mattress on the floor of the presidential palace, surrounded by supporters and refusing to eat.
Both sides claimed victory in the stand-off, and state media reported that Mr Morales lost nearly four kilograms in weight.
