Bolivian President Evo Morales won a recall vote on Sunday, according to unofficial results reported by local television, but will likely remain deadlocked with opponents of his leftist reforms.

A quick count of votes at a sample of stations by respected pollster Ipsos Apoyo showed Morales had secured 56.7 percent support with 50 percent of ballots counted, private television channel ATB reported. Morales needed 46.3 percent to keep his job.

An exit poll by private TV channel Unitel also said Morales had survived, with 60.12 percent of the vote.

Morales and eight of Bolivia's nine regional governors faced the recall. It was not immediately clear how many of the governors would also be confirmed in their jobs.....
