Democracy did kinda erode under him though (however, it has been eroding even quicker since he was ousted, so there's that)
How did it erode?
Here's an article from 2017 that I think sums it up quite well: https://carnegieendowment.org/2017/06/20/bolivia-s-democracy-at-risk-what-role-for-external-actors-pub-71301
But to make it short: a president going into a fourth term when the constitution only allows 2 should ring alarm bells, especially when said president is ignoring a referendum by doing so.
If he won the election, he won the election. Term limits are mainly a tool of capital, since capital does not have term limits.
