Bolivia may advance Elections
Bolivian president, Evo Morales,
announced the possibility of
advancing elections within a
year after the Constitutent
Assembly completes the new
Constitution.
"I have little time left to
govern," the president announced
at the inauguration of a social
project in the municipality of
Warnes in the eastern department
of Santa Cruz.
The Constituent Assembly should
be in session until August 6 in
Sucre, constitutional capital of
Bolivia, as established by the
law.
Morales warned municipal,
departmental and national
authorities that they had
"little time left to govern,"
and that politics exist to serve
the people not to serve oneself,
he explained.
Morales further explained that
the work of the Assembly should
conclude this year and next year
"a new election must be called
to elect a new president."
Morales became the first
indigenous president in the
elections of December 2005 with
a majority of 54 percent in the
first round.
