No "if", but "when". Since no party got 50% of the popular vote (remember, there were 11 parties!), the Congress will, indeed, vote.
If I understand correctly, the Congress has to vote between the first two - that would be Gonzalo Sánchez de Lozada (#1 in votes) and Evo Morales (#2 in votes - this is the candidate about which the U.S. ambassador is saying "don't make him president").
I find it hard to guess who will finally be voted for - but you may want to see the newspapers, for instance, the front page of
