Polls: Morales set to lose 4th term referendum

By Reuters in La Paz, Bolivia | China Daily | Updated: 2016-02-23 08:06

Bolivian President Evo Morales looked headed for defeat in a referendum on whether the leader can seek a fourth term in office, according to exit polls and early results on Sunday.

Morales, 56, now serving his third term, was trying to change the Constitution so he could run for reelection in 2019, potentially allowing the former coca grower to remain president until 2025.

With 3.6 percent of votes counted, the 'no' camp was on 67 percent, versus 33 percent for 'yes', according to early official results from the electoral commission. Full results were expected later.
