The former president of Bolivia Evo Morales considered this Sunday that is still qualified to be a presidential candidate in the 2025 elections despite the ruling of the Plurinational Constitutional Court (TCP) which established that the president and vice president can only be elected and serve for two terms, whether continuous or discontinuous.
