“Today I am withdrawing my candidacy for the presidency of Bolivia,” Agnes quotes RIA Novosti.

She noted that "this is not a sacrifice, but a great honor."

“Because I am doing this in the face of the threat of a split of votes among the Democratic candidates,” she explained.

Earlier it was reported that a court in Bolivia refused to register former President Evo Morales as a candidate for Senator from the Cochabamba region in the October 18 elections.
