The party elected Leonardo Loza, a MAS leader in the Tropico of Cochabamba, to replace Evo Morales as Senate candidate following the politically-motivated ban.
Movement Towards Socialism (MAS) candidates Luis Arce and David Choquehuanca are launching their election campaign in the city of El Alto this Sunday.
The frontrunners, according to polls, were joined by thousands at El Alto’s Mercado Campesino Santa Rosa as they spread the slogan on the ground and online “Vamos a salir adelante” translating to “We’ll come out ahead.”
MAS caravans and campaign events are taking place around the country with five weeks until the election.
The party has elected Leonardo Loza, leader of the Federation of Intercultural Communities of Chimore, one of the Six Federations of the Tropico, to replace Evo Morales as Senate candidate in Cochabamba after Morales was disqualified in a political act by the Supreme Electoral Court (TSE), coerced by the Añez regime.
