Bolivia: political parties

Bolivia's traditional political instability ended in 2005 with the first electoral victory of Evo Morales and his MAS-ISPM party. This was also the first time that an indigenous president had been elected in Bolivia. Thanks to changes he made to the Constitution in 2009, Morales won elections in 2009 and 2014, and was sworn in as President for the third time running in January 2015.
