I’ve not seen much information about Bolivia in a while, now learning the elections have gone horribly. The last thing I heard was about infighting between Luis Acre and Evo Morales.

Why can’t Evo run
The constitution that was instated in 2019 during his first term has a term limit of 2. He was able to run for a third term since the courts ruled that since his first term was before this constitution it didn’t count.
Trying to run again though goes against the term limit. MAS tried to pass a referendum in 2016 to change that so that he could run again but it narrowly lost.
I believe he tried to have the courts change the term limit in the run up to this election but not sure on what ground they tried to pitch that and it didn’t work.
