LA PAZ (Reuters) - Bolivia's constitutional court on Wednesday upheld a lower ruling banning more than two terms as president, in effect blocking former President Evo Morales from running in elections later this year.

The unanimous decision from the court came after years of speculation regarding the constitutionality of a third term, with Morales arguing that not allowing him to run again would violate his human rights.
