💨 Abstract

Bolivia's President Luis Arce announced his withdrawal from the country's August presidential election, citing a deepening rift with former President Evo Morales and a desire to avoid splitting the leftist vote. Arce's decision follows his falling poll numbers and increasing economic struggles, including high inflation and fuel shortages. Morales, barred from running due to a 2023 court ruling, also faces alleged legal issues.
