Overview

• The electoral tribunal formalized the second round and authorized campaigning to begin Thursday using the same voter roll.
• First‑round totals put Senator Rodrigo Paz at 32.06% and former president Jorge “Tuto” Quiroga at 26.7%.
• Official congressional results allocate 65 seats to Paz’s party, 51 to Quiroga’s alliance, 32 to Samuel Doria Medina’s bloc, and 6 to Súmate.
• MAS dropped to two deputies and zero senators, while its presidential nominee, Eduardo Del Castillo, secured 3.17%—just enough to preserve the party’s legal status.
• Null ballots reached a record 19.87% after Evo Morales urged voters to cast null votes, a move President Luis Arce blamed for the left’s defeat.
