Evo Morales Seeks International Help to Run in Bolivian Elections

Evo Morales Supporters Seek International Help to Run for President in 2025 LA PAZ, BOLIVIA – Supporters of former Bolivian President Evo Morales are turning to international courts after Bolivian courts rejected his candidacy for the upcoming 2025 general elections. Morales's legal team argues that the rejection is politically motivated and violates his human rights. They intend to petition the Inter-American Court of Human Rights for a ruling to overturn the decision. "We have exhausted all legal options within Bolivia," stated Marcelo Galván, a lawyer representing Morales. "The rejection of Evo's candidacy is a clear violation of his rights, and we are confident that the Inter-American Court will see this injustice." Ruth Nina, a delegate from Morales's political opponent, PAN-BOL, countered that Morales's ineligibility is based on Bolivian law and that no party would campaign with him in the remaining time before the election. The international appeal adds a new layer of complexity to the already tense political situation in Bolivia. The outcome could have significant implications for the upcoming elections and the country's future.
