Bolivia’s socialist ex-president Evo Morales released a photo late Monday that showed how the ousted leader allegedly spent the night after his dramatic fall, lying on the floor under a blanket at an undisclosed location before fleeing to Mexico for asylum.

Morales stepped down Sunday following weeks of violent protests sparked by allegations of election fraud in the Oct. 20 election he claimed to have won. The former leader’s whereabouts following his resignation were initially unknown after he claimed officials in Bolivia wanted him arrested – an allegation that was disputed by a police official.

He arrived safely in Mexico aboard a private jet on Tuesday, but not before purportedly experiencing several complications along the way.

"This was my first night after leaving the presidency forced by a coup by [opposition leaders Carlos] Mesa and [Luis Fernando] Camacho with the help of the police,” Morales tweeted in Spanish, along with a photo of himself in a makeshift bed on the floor.

“I remembered my times as leader," he continued. "I'm grateful to my brothers from the of Cochabamba tropic's federations for providing us with security and care."

Morales said his resignation was "forced by a coup" led by opposition leaders.

The resignation of Morales didn't end the violence in Bolivia, as his angry supporters clashed with opposition protesters and police. Mexican Foreign Secretary Marcelo Ebrard said any delays in Morales' exit from Bolivia could put the former president in danger.

Morales appeared to have slept under the blanket before boarding a government plane sent by Mexico. However, getting to Mexico remained difficult for Morales as some countries closed their airspace for the flight.

Ebrard said his country sent a military jet from Peru to Bolivia to pick up Morales on Monday. Bolivian authorities at first granted permission but then revoked it. As the plane was heading back to Peru, Bolivia relented and allowed the plane to retrieve Morales.

But then Peru wouldn’t allow the plane carrying Morales back in. Paraguay eventually allowed the jet to land. He eventually arrived in Mexico and thanked the country for granting him asylum, saying they "saved his life."

"It pains me to leave [Bolivia] for political reasons, but I'll always be concerned," Morales said Monday on Twitter. "l'll return soon, with more strength and energy."

His resignation has left a political leadership vacuum and escalating street clashes between Morales' supporters and the opposition. It remained unclear who his eventual successor would be.
