Bolivian President Evo Morales resigns amid election protests
Bolivian President Evo Morales has resigned after nearly 14 years in power, amid turmoil following his disputed re-election last month, BBC reports.
The head of the army had called on him to go after protests over his election win.
Auditors found irregularities with the poll but Mr Morales said he had been the victim of a coup.
He said he was leaving to help protect families of political allies, after their homes were burned down.
In a televised address, Mr Morales urged protesters to "stop attacking the brothers and sisters, stop burning and attacking".
The Vice-President, Alvaro Garcia Linera, and Senate President Adriana Salvatierra, also resigned.
Protesters took to the streets to celebrate, chanting "yes we could" and setting off fire crackers.
