Bolivia: Here We Go Again

with 2 comments

BBC:

Bolivia’s general election - supposed to be taking place on 4 December - has been postponed amid a row over the reallocation of congressional seats.

The election was called earlier this year as a way of ending street protests that had led to the resignation of President Carlos Mesa in June.

But a fresh row has broken out after a court awarded more seats to the more developed eastern part of Bolivia.

The vote can still be held in December if the politicians reach a deal soon.

  1. I’m SURE the politicians will reach a deal soon. They’re really good about compromise and working for the greater good.
