BOLIVIA’S coup-administration has delayed elections for a third time after election authorities said they would be “unfeasible” due to the global Covid-19 pandemic.
Supreme Electoral Tribunal president Salvador Romero said that the step was necessary in order to protect voters with the country’s hospitals and cemeteries under strain.
“This election requires the highest possible health security measures to protect the health of Bolivians,” he said at a La Paz press conference.
