Samuel Doria Medina, the center-right presidential hopeful, held his final campaign rally in the city of El Alto on Aug. 14, 2025. The event was his last major public appearance before national voting begins this weekend.
Bolivian presidential contenders from across the political spectrum made a final push for votes on Wednesday as the country heads to elections that could end roughly 20 years of socialist governance. Candidates intensified appeals to undecided voters in key urban and highland areas.
At the El Alto rally, Doria Medina sought to consolidate support by emphasizing his policy priorities and urging residents to turn out on election day. The weekend vote is being framed by many as a moment of potential political change for Bolivia.
