Felipe Quispe was... surely an interesting character. Rest in peace.
Waldo Albarracín (CC candidate) has dropped out of the race for mayor of La Paz.
Ironic since you called him a shoo-in one month ago. But why did he drop out?
His official story seems to be that he doesn’t like how people are campaigning during a covid wave, although it may also be that he’s not actually as much of a shoo-in as he hoped and I thought. I still think the opposition will win, since the current mayor split from MAS and still managed to win in 2010 and 2015, plus it’s of course a more urban area, but it looks like Albarracín turned out not to be the unifying figure the leaders of the opposition imagined him as.
