The Bolivian Supreme Electoral Court (TSE) invalidated Evo Morales' candidacy for the Senate on Thursday because the ex-president, exiled in Argentina, does not fulfill the obligation of "permanent residence" in the country. Evo Morales had left Bolivia for Mexico after he resigned in November, after weeks of protests against him and under pressure from the armed forces, following a controversial presidential election. He then took refuge in Argentina.
