LA PAZ, Jumada I 12, 1437, February 21, 2016, SPA -- Bolivians voted on Sunday in a referendum that will decide if President Evo Morales can stay in power for a fourth term, with the result looking uncertain as support for the once popular leader has ebbed, according to Reuters. Morales, currently on his third term, is seeking to change the constitution so he can run for re-election in 2019, potentially allowing the onetime coca grower to remain president until 2025. While voters across Latin America have largely turned against the populist leftists that once dominated the region, Morales, Bolivia's first indigenous president, has remained standing. If he wins the referendum, he says he will continue his '2025 Agenda' that includes eradicating extreme poverty. --SPA 23:07 LOCAL TIME 20:07 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
