# TCP recognises Grover García as MAS president and bars Morales on term limits

Date: 2024

## The fact

On 14 November 2024 Bolivia’s TCP Fourth Chamber validated the El Alto MAS congress and recognised Grover García as party president, displacing [Evo Morales](/people/evo-morales). Reuters had recorded the same month’s term-limit bar.

## Context

He had run a parallel MAS against [Arce](/people/luis-arce) from 2023. Luis Arce is the live counterpart. García remains unresolved. Morales did not sit as a TCP magistrate.

TCP 0084/2017 is the earlier term-limit neighbour. 31 March 2025 EVO Pueblo is a child. Keep TCP recognises Grover García as MAS president and bars Morales on term limits on 2024-11-14 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.

## Evidence and sources

Tribunal Constitucional Plurinacional of Bolivia carries the official instrument or communique. Infobae records the same dated act independently.

## Significance

The path is parallel MAS: a completed court instrument that took the acronym off Morales and left a parallel vehicle.

## What is established and what is not

Established: The TCP recognised García on 14 November 2024 and barred Morales on term limits the same month.

Not established: A unique later blockade integer, or that EVO Pueblo is this same resolution.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, a later repeal, a court that vacated the instrument, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.

Arce’s faction convened El Alto. Morales convened Lauca Ñ and later EVO Pueblo.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies TCP recognises Grover García as MAS president and bars Morales on term limits, not a later speech about TCP recognises Grover García as MAS president and bars Morales on term limits.

Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. TCP recognises Grover García as MAS president and bars Morales on term limits on 2024-11-14 is not a licence to treat every later Tribunal Constitucional Plurinacional of Bolivia communique as this same act. If a later repeal, stay, or successor instrument exists, it needs its own date and its own row. This dossier refuses to average TCP recognises Grover García as MAS president and bars Morales on term limits into a personality. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to TCP magistrates wrote. Arce’s faction convened El Alto. Morales convened Lauca Ñ and later EVO Pueblo. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series.
