Bolivia Court Bars Evo Morales from Elections

News summary

Bolivia's Plurinational Constitutional Tribunal has definitively barred former President Evo Morales from running for office again, reaffirming a two-term limit set by the constitution. This ruling, made public on November 8, 2024, prevents Morales, who served from 2006 to 2019, from contesting the upcoming presidential elections in August 2025. The court's decision comes amidst rising political tensions, including protests by Morales's supporters and accusations against the government led by President Luis Arce. Morales's legal team plans to challenge the ruling internationally, arguing it is politically motivated. The decision marks a significant shift in Bolivia's political landscape, as Morales's return to politics had been a contentious issue since his departure amid allegations of election fraud. The court's ruling closes any possibility for Morales to pursue a political comeback, emphasizing the importance of constitutional limits on governmental terms.
