As Bolivia approaches a contentious presidential election on August 17, significant developments have emerged: incumbent President Luis Arce has announced he will not seek re-election, aiming to prevent vote division, while the constitutional court has barred his former mentor, Evo Morales, from running again due to term limits. Arce’s tenure has been marked by political instability and economic challenges, fueling public discontent, while Morales, despite legal setbacks, remains a prominent figure advocating for his cause. The political landscape is increasingly uncertain, with no clear frontrunner as factions within the left-wing Movement for Socialism party struggle for unity.
