Morales stepped aside only after the military chief, Gen. Williams Kaliman, called for him to quit to allow the restoration of peace and stability. It wasn’t immediately clear who would succeed Morales, or how his successor would be chosen. The only other official listed by the constitution as a successor, the head of the lower house, already had resigned. ADIn addition, the head of Bolivia’s Supreme Electoral Tribunal, Maria Eugenia Choque, stepped down after the release of the OAS findings. Morales was elected in 2006 and went on to preside over a commodities-fed economic boom in South America’s poorest country.
