"Bolivian Court Blocks Morales' Bid for Re-Election"

Bolivia's Constitutional Court has barred former president Evo Morales from running for re-election in 2025, citing term limits as a safeguard against the perpetuation of power. This decision overturns a previous ruling that allowed Morales to seek a fourth term in 2019, which led to his resignation amid protests and allegations of election fraud. The court's latest ruling aligns with the Inter-American Court of Human Rights' stance that re-election is not a human right. Morales, who has been at odds with his successor Luis Arce, criticized the ruling as politically motivated.
