Morales, Latin America’s longest-standing leader, won the election on Oct. 20 but the vote count had been inexplicably halted for nearly a day, sparking allegations of fraud and leading to protests, strikes and road blocks. The foreign ministry also said in a statement on Saturday that a coup was “in process” by radical civic groups, adding some police officers had “abandoned their constitutional role of ensuring the security of society and state institutions”.
Camacho plans to lead a march to the government palace on Monday with a symbolic pre-written resignation letter for Morales to sign.
