'Never Again': Indigenous Bolivians Sour on Socialism

Evo Morales urges supporters to cast null votes in protest after being barred from running, deepening divisions within Bolivia's left amid rising right-wing momentum, with 14% backing null ballots.

  • Bolivians are voting in the 2025 presidential election amid a deep economic crisis and a decline in support for the ruling Movement for Socialism.
  • This election follows Morales's 2006-2019 presidency, marked by poverty reduction but ended by fraud allegations and a court-imposed two-term limit barring his fourth-term bid.
  • Morales, Bolivia's first Indigenous president, galvanized an Indigenous majority but now faces opposition from Indigenous voters critical of socialist failures and his push for extended rule.
  • Polls show right-wing candidates surging with about 14 percent backing Morales's call for null votes, signaling a sharp drop from his prior majority support.
  • The outcome may shift Bolivia's political landscape as many Indigenous voters seek new leadership amid economic hardship and political uncertainty.
