Bolivia: Will the President Serve Another Term?

Bolivian President Evo Morales is not even a year into his third term but already appears to be considering a fourth. The government plans to convene a Cabinet meeting in December to discuss whether Morales should try to change the constitution to allow him to run again in 2019. Meanwhile, some of his supporters have begun calling for a national referendum that would pave the way for those changes. With the economy growing and the political opposition weak, it is plausible that Morales could get the needed reforms through.
