Bolivia's Political Shift: Arce Steps Aside

  • Bolivia's President Luis Arce announced his withdrawal from the August 17 presidential race on Tuesday in a televised address.
  • Arce's decision follows a deepening rivalry with former President Evo Morales and mounting economic crises blamed on Arce's administration.
  • The country faces severe fuel shortages, a depleted central bank dollar reserve, and inflation spikes, while Morales remains barred from running amid legal challenges.
  • Arce warned that fragmentation of the socialist vote could enable a right-wing return after nearly two decades of leftist rule, urging Morales not to run.
  • The withdrawal intensifies a disputed socialist contest and opens space for rivals like Senate President Andronico Rodríguez ahead of a tumultuous election.
