On Sunday August 17, 2025, the first round of presidential elections in the Plurinational State of Bolivia were held in the small Andean nation of 12 million people. Now the country is headed to an October 19 run-off between centrist Christian Democratic Party Senator Rodrigo Paz, the son of a former president, and former right wing President Jorge “Tuto” Quiroga of the Libre Party. The election results on Sunday ended twenty years of MAS-IPSP (Movement Towards Socialism – Political Instrument for the Sovereignty of the People) in power with MAS candidate and current Interior Minister Eduardo del Castillo polling at between 1-2%, effectively completing the objectives of the 2019 coup.
