BREAKING: Bolivian President Evo Morales announces resignation amid accusations of election fraud.
Luis Fernando Camacho, a civic leader from the eastern city of Santa Cruz who has become a symbol of the opposition, said the OAS report clearly demonstrated election fraud. He reiterated his call for Morales to resign.
"In order to restore credibility to the electoral process, all government officials and officials of any political organizations implicated in the flawed October 20 elections should step aside from the electoral process," he said in a statement.As the fall-out from the audit report swept across Bolivia, there were signs that Morales' support was waning fast.
"If it means resigning to bring peace to the Bolivia people, then Mr. President we should do it," he said. When questioned about whether he would be a candidate in the new election, Morales told a local radio station"candidacies must be secondary; what comes first is to pacify Bolivia," adding he had a constitutional duty to finish his term.David Mercado / Reuters
"The first round of the elections held on October 20 must be annulled and the electoral process must begin again," the OAS added in a separate statement.
