OAS calls on Bolivian parliament to appoint new election committee leadership

This is stated in a message posted on the organization’s Twitter page.

The OAS called for "an immediate gathering of the Bolivian Multinational Legislative Assembly to guarantee the operation of institutions and to appoint the leadership of the electoral body to support the new election process."

Earlier, Bolivian President Evo Morales, Vice President Alvaro Garcia Linera, Senate Head Adriana Salvierrara and Senate First Deputy Speaker, as well as the head of the Chamber of Deputies, Viktor Borda, resigned.

In turn, the second vice speaker of the Senate of Bolivia, Janine Agnes, said that the presidential powers are transferred to her.

The Russian Foreign Ministry called on all the political forces of Bolivia to find a legal way out of the crisis after the resignation of Morales.
