It will be noted that the five major candidates all polled similar
totals. Unlike most South American countries, Bolivia does not have
a run-off when no candidate polls 50% of the vote. This allowed 
Banzer, a former military dictator, to win with less than one 
quarter of the vote. If a run-off had been held between Banzer and
Durán Saucedo, the latter would have been supported by Paz Zamora 
and would probably have won.
