Bolivia's Upcoming Elections Face Threats: MAS-IPSP President Raises Concerns LA PAZ, BOLIVIA – May 23, 2025 – Concerns are rising about the upcoming general elections in Bolivia, with the ruling party expressing worries about potential disruptions. President of the Movement for Socialism – Instrumental Political Party (MAS-IPSP), Grover Garcia, has publicly stated that the Supreme Electoral Tribunal (TSE) bears the responsibility of ensuring the elections proceed without interference. "The Supreme Electoral Tribunal, composed of important authorities, has taken a firm stance to uphold the Constitution and the laws," Garcia stated in a recent press conference, as reported by Bolivia TV. He further emphasized the need for the TSE to guarantee the electoral process, highlighting the importance of the upcoming elections for the 11 million Bolivian citizens. Garcia's statements come amidst threats from the 'evismo' movement, which has reportedly called for the resignation of TSE officials. This has raised concerns about the potential for political instability and the disruption of the electoral process. The MAS-IPSP is actively working to ensure the integrity of the elections and the smooth transition of power. The TSE has yet to issue a formal response to these concerns, but the upcoming elections remain a critical juncture for Bolivia's political landscape. The successful conduct of these elections will be crucial for maintaining stability and the continuation of democratic processes in the country.
