Bolivia’s interim president Jeanine Áñez has scheduled new elections for 3 May. But with members from former ruling party the Movement Towards Socialism (MAS) facing intimidation and repression the polls are unlikely to be free and fair.
Bolivia last held elections on 20 October 2019, but allegations of fraud from the Organization of American States’ observers and civil-society groups sparked weeks of conflict, which ended in a hard-right orchestrated coup against MAS president Evo Morales on 10 November.
