The ruling prevents the country’s first Indigenous president from contesting elections scheduled in August 2025.
Bolivia’s constitutional court has barred former President Evo Morales from running again for elected office, preventing him from contesting next year’s presidential election.
The ruling, made public on Friday, also reaffirms a 2023 court order that a president cannot serve more than two terms, whether consecutive or not, and “without the possibility of extending it to a third term”.
Bolivia’s first Indigenous president, Morales led the country from 2006 to 2019 and was extremely popular until he tried to bypass the constitution and seek a fourth term.
