Bolivia’s army chief calls on president Evo Morales to resign. It says the chief of the army, general Williams Kaliman, at a press conference on Sunday evening Danish time.
After having analyzed the internal situation of conflict, we ask the president to renounce his presidential mandate and allow peace to be restored and stability maintained for Bolivia’s best, ” says Kaliman.

The original choice was driven by the “obvious manipulation” of the election results, said a report from the Organization of American States (OAS).
It has been the opposition to demand that Morales and his vice president, Alvaro Garcia Linera, fail to stand at a forthcoming election.
Morales has rejected allegations of electoral fraud and has so far also rejected calls to resign.
