The historic collapse of the MAS in 2025 brings two decades of populist hegemony to a close and opens up an unprecedented presidential race between the traditional Jorge Quiroga and the emerging Rodrigo Paz.

The Buenos Aires elections exposed the weaknesses of Javier Milei’s La Libertad Avanza, highlighting fragile governance and internal contradictions.

Unexpected candidates Rodrigo Paz and Edmand Lara reshaped Bolivia’s elections, defying polls and changing the political landscape.

From being a country with a record of coups d'état to a laboratory of Andean populism, Bolivia is facing a new turning point. The presidential runoff marks the end of MAS hegemony and opens an uncertain scenario: the political elite will have to face an economy on the verge of collapse and the persistent ghost of Evo Morales.

Bolivia’s elections marked the collapse of MAS and the rise of Rodrigo Paz with a moderate and inclusive economic discourse, signaling a shift away from extremes toward the political center.

With a discredited electoral body, economic meltdown and a fragmented political map, Bolivia faces elections that could trigger an institutional explosion.
