Morales’s ally Arce returns to Bolivia to run for president in May election | |
(about 1 hour later) | |
Luis Arce, the presidential candidate for Evo Morales’s Movement for Socialism party, returned to Bolivia on Tuesday following self-imposed exile in Mexico, AFP reported. Arce, a former economy minister, is due to stand for Movement to Socialism (MAS) in the May 3 election aiming to extend the socialist party’s hold on the presidency for a fourth term. | |
Morales was in power for almost 14 years before resigning on November 10 following three weeks of, at times, violent protests against his reelection in an October poll. | |
After resigning, Morales fled into exile in Mexico before settling in neighboring Argentina a month later. He is barred from standing in the May election and the interim government accuses him of sedition. | After resigning, Morales fled into exile in Mexico before settling in neighboring Argentina a month later.
