Beni Constitutional Chamber Admits Resource to Limit Political Re-election

BENI, Bolivia – The Constitutional Chamber of Beni has admitted a legal resource that could significantly impact future presidential elections by requiring candidates to resign from their current elected positions. The 'Acción Popular,' filed by Marlene María Sierra Terán, seeks to protect citizens' right to elect and be elected, arguing for limits on political leaders who have held office for more than two constitutional periods. The resource, which references Article 168 of the Political Constitution, aims to prevent the 'authoritarianism of political parties' by ensuring that officials such as senators, deputies, governors, and sub-governors cannot perpetually hold elected office without stepping down. This move is seen as vital for the democratic process. Due to a heavy workload and overlapping hearings, the secretariat has scheduled a new hearing for Monday, July 21, 2025, at 10:00 AM. All parties involved have been duly notified of this new date. The admission of this resource has already generated various reactions within the political landscape.
