President Evo Morales of Bolivia has lost a referendum to allow him to stand for a fourth term in office, exit polls suggest.

One poll suggests 52.3% voted against the proposal to amend the constitution, while another suggests it was 51%.

The change would have allowed Mr Morales to remain in power until 2025. He called the vote saying he needed more time to implement reforms.

The opposition says the move would be undemocratic.

Looks like Latin America is getting tired of Chavismo. They saw the sad state of affairds Venezuela finds itself in, and want to avoid it as much as possible. Which is a shame, because Evo has not really been that bad of a president. But he has associated himself too much with the most corrupt government on the planet, and now it's come back to bite him.
