Evo Morales Banned From Bolivian Presidency: Tribunal's Unanimous Decision Sparks Outrage

Bolivia's Constitutional Tribunal unanimously disqualifies Evo Morales from the 2025 presidential elections. The Tribunal's decision, announced on May 14th, 2025, stems from a constitutional two-term limit for presidents, regardless of whether the terms are consecutive or not. Tribunal Dean Rene Espada stated that the decision was made unanimously by all nine members. Reactions have been sharply divided. Supporters of Morales have denounced the ruling, while others view it as a victory for Bolivian democracy. Morales himself, speaking to reporters, vowed to continue his political activities despite the disqualification. This decision is likely to shape the upcoming electoral landscape in Bolivia.
