Read the full account

On 10 November 2019 Evo Morales announced his resignation as president after police and military withdrew support following the 20 October election. CEPR later contested the statistical jump. Wikipedia stores the office as ending 12 November. Deaths in the unrest are contested.

Context

He had stood for a fourth term under TCP 0084/2017. Jeanine Áñez later sat as interim. She remains unresolved. He did not sit as every TREP operator.

20 October election is parent. 12 November office-end is a child of this announcement. OAS December report is the audit neighbour. Keep Morales resigns after the 2019 count OAS would not validate on 2019-11-10 separate from neighbouring 21 February 2016 referendum, 28 November 2017 TCP 0084/2017, 10 November 2019 resignation, 14 November 2024 TCP MAS resolution, and 31 March 2025 EVO Pueblo.

The president of Bolivia was head of state, head of government, and commander-in-chief until November 2019. A living former president can convene a party congress and call blockades. He does not sit as a TCP magistrate, a TSE precinct printer, or an OAS auditor.

Why it matters

The path is polarisation and parallel MAS: a completed resignation after a count OAS would not validate, remaining CEPR’s statistical contest as a neighbouring finding.

What the sources establish

OAS’s December 2019 electoral-integrity analysis recorded hidden servers and operations it said made results impossible to validate.

Organization of American States carries the official instrument or communique. BBC News records the same dated act independently.

Established: He announced resignation on 10 November 2019; OAS later said it could not validate the 20 October count; CEPR contested the jump.

Not established: A unique 2019 death total from this page, or a unique later fraud integer as Contribution.size.

TSE ran TREP. OAS audited. Police and military withdrew support. CEPR contested statistics.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies Morales resigns after the 2019 count OAS would not validate, not a later speech about Morales resigns after the 2019 count OAS would not validate.

Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. If a later repeal, stay, or successor instrument exists, it needs its own date and its own row. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to He stood and then resigned. TSE ran TREP. OAS audited. Police and military withdrew support. CEPR contested statistics. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series.
