Parties and candidates

Five parties (including one party alliance) will contest the election at the presidential level.

Incumbent Evo Morale and his Deputy Alvaro Garcia Linera are seeking re-election, following victories in 2005 and 2009. Their candidacy was endorsed by '' Movement For Socialism'' at its 18th anniversary gathering in March 2013 and its Seventh General Congress in October 2013

The center-lef '' Without Fear Movement''(MSM) nominated party founder, and 2000–2010 Mayor of  La Paz Juan del Grando  as its candidate for president on November 11, 2013.
Both the party and its candidate were allies with the first Evo Morales administration, and the MSM ran on a joint slate with the MAS-IPSP in the 2009 election, but the alliance ruptured shortly afterwards.

The largest opposition parties—the Democrats (MDS), National Unity Front (UN; convener of the Broad Front), and Without Fear Movement—held a variety of talks discussing possible alliances from late 2013 through June 2014. On June 17, the Democrats and National Unity announced the formation of the Democrat Unity Coalition whose candidates for president and vice president will be UN leader Samuel Doria Medina and Ernesto Suárez, respectively
