(CNN Spanish) -
The interim president of Bolivia, Jeanine Áñez, announced this Thursday that she is resigning her presidential candidacy.
In a video posted on social networks, Áñez said that he is leaving the candidacy "due to the risk that the democratic vote will be divided among several candidates and that as a result of that division the MAS will end up winning."
The general elections will be held on October 18.
