in 2018 Ahead of the
2025 Bolivian general election, former president
Evo Morales (in office from 2006 to 2019) expressed interest in being re-elected to the presidency. On 8 November 2024, the
Plurinational Constitutional Tribunal banned Morales from running for president, ruling that he could not exceed the constitutional two-term limit for the presidency. Despite the ban, on 20 February 2025, Morales announced that he would run for president in the August 2025 general election. He left the
Movement for Socialism (MAS) political party that he had led for 30 years and stated that he would run for president with the
Front for Victory (FPV). He justified his bid by arguing that a loophole in the
constitution of Bolivia allowed him to run for a fourth presidential term. In December 2024, Morales stated that he would establish a political party to contest the 2025 general election. On 31 March 2025, Morales and hundreds of his supporters announced the establishment of a new political party: We Are Returning to Obeying the People (, abbreviated EVO Pueblo). Morales stated that the party would immediately seek registration with the
Plurinational Electoral Organ to be eligible to participate in the 2025 general election. According to the Law of Political Organizations, EVO Pueblo needs to have at least 109,500 members to be registered to participate in elections; at the time of EVO Pueblo's establishment, it had two weeks after to meet the 120 day deadline to register a political party ahead of the August 2025 election. The party declared Morales to be its "only candidate to the Presidency" (""). Morales offered former Bolivian president
Eduardo Rodríguez Veltzé to be his vice presidential candidate, but Rodríguez declined the following day. On 9 April 2025, after the FPV announced that Morales would not be its candidate, EVO Pueblo stated that it would seek "other options" ("") to get Morales registered as a presidential candidate. == Symbology ==
