Evo Morales, the former president of Bolivia, finds himself surrounded by supporters in Chapare, a hotbed for coca production, as he faces arrest warrants related to trafficking allegations and other scandals. Amidst Bolivia's economic crisis, Morales aims to run for a fourth term. With the political landscape shifting, especially after Luis Arce, his former finance minister and current president, dropped out of the upcoming presidential election, the contest's implications for Bolivian democracy raise significant questions about the country's future leadership and stability.
Deep in the jungle region of Chapare, Bolivia's coca country, the former president and socialist icon Evo Morales is holed up in a compound surrounded by supporters armed with sticks and homemade shields.

Bolivia's economy is in crisis, and now that Arce has dropped out of August's presidential election, what type of contest is shaping up in Bolivia?
