Evo Morales has accepted his ruling party Movimiento al Socialismo’s nomination as candidate for the 2019 presidential election after 12 years in office，although this runs counter to the 2009 constitution as voters rejected the government’s bid to extend presidential term limits in a referendum in February 2016. The economic growth slowed down in 2017，yet still kept positive growth. Morales’ reforms failed to satisfy the demands of diverse social groups and continued to provoke various social unrests and protests. Morales’ foreign policy focused on cultivating stronger relations with non-traditional partners such as China，Iran and Russia，and sought to pluralize diplomacy relationships with the aim to combine domestic development needs with foreign strategies.
