A video he posted to social media appeared to show at least two bullet holes in the windscreen of a car in the front seat of which Morales was sitting.

In a statement, Morales's Movement for Socialism (Mas) party said men in black had fired on the vehicle when it passed by a military barracks. The party said it held President Luis Arce's government responsible.

Arce condemned violence in politics and pledged an investigation.

Both men belong to the governing Mas party. But they have fallen out and their relations have become even more acrimonious since both announced their intention to run as the Mas party's candidate in the 2025 presidential election.
