iirc, Evo is more "radical" he is a self-proclaimed democratic socialist. Meanwhile, Luis Arce is more of a Social Democrat, more like Lula da Silva. Some people say this is about ego, that Evo just wants to be President again because he knows he can do better than people inside his own party. While Arce is more of to the right of the party.
I do believe Evo is much more popular than Luis Arce, but Arce also has his own supporters and seem to want to make a goverment with little influence from Evo, so it's not a repeat of the situation with Argentine president Alberto Fernandez and his VP, Cristina Kirchner. Who basically influenced the entire goverment.
The thing is, the right really, like really fucking hates Evo Morales. Why? He fixed the economy (Arce was his financy minister), gave many rights to the natives and changed the entire country constitution to grant rights to minorities. And he also added a new flag to be used with the Bolivian flag.
The Bolivian Elite hates Evo because now they can't sell the country's resources for the West while using the army to oppress the peasant class with help of the DEA. I do believe both Evo and Luis Arce are good presidents, but this split was really bad for the party. But who knows now. Evo supported Arce doring this coup, maybe they will make peace again with eachother.
