Bolivia's electoral court bans ex-leader Morales and suspends a key a candidate, drawing backlash
LA PAZ, Bolivia — Bolivia's top electoral court on Tuesday disqualified iconic former President Evo Morales from running for president and suspended the other main leftist contender from taking part in the August elections.
The decision targeted the two strongest leftist challengers to President Luis Arce's governing socialist party : Morales, Bolivia's first Indigenous president who governed the country from 2006 until his ouster in 2019, and Andrónico Rodríguez, the young Senate president.
