BOLIVIAN PRESIDENT QUIROGA SHAKES HANDS WITH SANCHEZ DE LOZADA AT THE GOVERNMENT PALACE, 2002-07-30 (photo)

Bolivian President Jorge Quiroga Ramirez (L) shakes hands with Presidential candidate Gonzalo Sanchez de Lozada at the Government Palace in La Paz, July 30, 2002. Free-market reformer Gonzalo Sanchez de Lozada has effectively assured he will become Bolivia's next president after sealing a congressional pact with a long-time leftist rival for a second term in power. Sanchez de Lozada came first in the June 30 election but did not gain the more than 50 percent needed for an outright victory. That means a newly elected Congress must choose on Aug. 3 between Lozada or second-placed Evo Morales, a leader of coca-growing Indians. REUTERS/David Mercado DM/JP
