Evo Morales Excluded from Bolivia’s Presidential Elections Amid Controversy
Evo Morales, former president of Bolivia, has been barred from participating in the upcoming presidential elections set for August 2024. The Constitutional Court ruled that no president can serve more than two terms, disqualifying Morales, who served from 2006 to 2019. His political comeback attempt sparked previous unrest, culminating in his resignation amid allegations of electoral fraud. Tensions within the ruling MAS party have escalated, leading to protests, roadblocks, and accusations against Morales of sexual misconduct, which he claims are politically motivated. Recent claims of a failed assassination attempt have further intensified the conflict.
