LA PAZ, Bolivia — President Evo Morales ended a five-day hunger strike Tuesday after Bolivia’s congress broke a political deadlock, approving a law that lets him run for re-election in December.

Morales looked exhausted and a few pounds thinner as he formally enacted the law before a crowd that chanted “Evo, the people are with you!”

Morales, 49, spent the weekend on a mattress in the presidential palace, drinking chamomile tea and chewing coca leaves, a mild stimulant that helps suppress the appetite.
