LA PAZ, Bolivia: President Evo Morales resigned on Sunday under mounting pressure from Bolivia’s military and the public after his re-election victory triggered weeks of fraud allegations and deadly protests. The crisis deepened dramatically when the country’s military chief went on national television to call on the president to step down. This is Bolivia, and Bolivia is respected,” a crowd in the capital shouted. His vice president also resigned as did the Senate president, who was next in line. In addition, the head of Bolivia’s Supreme Electoral Tribunal, Maria Eugenia Choque, stepped down after the release of the OAS findings.
