💨 Abstract

Bolivia's top electoral court disqualified former President Evo Morales and suspended Senate President Andrónico Rodríguez from the August elections, targeting the main leftist challengers to President Luis Arce's governing socialist party. Morales and Rodríguez accused Arce's government of using the court system against them, highlighting a power struggle within the Movement Toward Socialism party. Morales' disqualification was expected due to his party's lack of official status, while Rodríguez's suspension is pending a hearing.
