{{Politics of Bolivia}}

The [[president of Bolivia]] is the [[head of state]] and [[head of government]] of [[Bolivia]], [[Direct election|directly elected]] to a five-year [[Term of office|term]] by the [[Bolivian people]]. The officeholder leads the [[Executive (government)|executive branch]] of the government and is the [[captain general]] of the [[Armed Forces of Bolivia]].

Since the office was established in 1825, 65 men and 2 women have served as president. The first president, [[Simón Bolívar]], was elected by the General Assembly of Deputies of the Province of Upper Peru. For purposes of numbering, members of jointly-ruling juntas and other governing bodies are not included in the official count of presidents, unless one member later assumed the presidency in their own right. Three presidents: [[Antonio José de Sucre]], [[Germán Busch]], and [[Hernán Siles Zuazo]] became, after a brief, non-consecutive, interim exercise of power, presidents for longer terms later. In these cases, they are numbered according to that second term. Therefore, Busch is counted as the 36th president, not the 35th, Siles Zuazo as the 46th instead of the 45th, etc.<ref>{{harvnb|Mesa Gisbert|2003|p=41}}</ref>

The presidency of [[Pedro Blanco Soto]], who was assassinated six days after taking office in 1828, was the shortest in Bolivian history. [[Evo Morales]] served the longest, over thirteen years, before [[2019 Bolivian political crisis|resigning in 2019]]. He is the only president to have served more than two consecutive terms. [[José Miguel de Velasco]] and [[Víctor Paz Estenssoro]] each served for four terms. However, all of Velasco's were non-consecutive and two were in an acting capacity while Paz Estenssoro only served twice consecutively in [[1960 Bolivian general election|1960]] and [[1964 Bolivian general election|1964]].

Three presidents died in office, one of natural causes and two through tragic circumstances ([[Adolfo Ballivián]], Germán Busch, and [[René Barrientos]]). Three were assassinated ([[Pedro Blanco Soto]], [[Agustín Morales]], and [[Gualberto Villarroel]]). The latter resigned mere hours before his death. Additionally, [[Manuel Antonio Sánchez]] and [[Pedro José Domingo de Guerra|Pedro José de Guerra]] died of natural causes while exercising provisional presidential functions while eight former presidents were assassinated after leaving office (Antonio José de Sucre, [[Eusebio Guilarte]], [[Manuel Isidoro Belzu]], [[Jorge Córdova]], [[Mariano Melgarejo]], [[Hilarión Daza]], [[José Manuel Pando]], and [[Juan José Torres]]).<ref name=":Death">{{harvnb|Mesa Gisbert|2003|pp=256–257}}</ref>

Five vice presidents assumed the presidency during a presidential term ([[José Luis Tejada Sorzano]], [[Mamerto Urriolagoitía]], [[Luis Adolfo Siles Salinas]], [[Jorge Quiroga]], and [[Carlos Mesa]]). Tejada Sorzano was the first to do so in 1934 while Quiroga was the only one to complete the term of their predecessor (Tejada Sorzano extended his mandate past the term of his predecessor).

22 presidents were deposed in 23 [[Coups d'état in Bolivia|coups d'état]] ([[1839 Bolivian coup d'état|1839]], [[June 1841 Bolivian coup d'état|1841]]; [[September 1841 Bolivian coup d'état|twice]], [[January 1848 Bolivian coup d'état|1848]]; [[December 1848 Bolivian coup d'état|twice]], [[1857 Bolivian coup d'état|1857]], [[1861 Bolivian coup d'état|1861]], [[1864 Bolivian coup d'état|1864]], [[1871 Bolivian coup d'état|1871]], [[1876 Bolivian coup d'état|1876]], [[1879 Bolivian coup d'état|1879]], [[1920 Bolivian coup d'état|1920]], [[1936 Bolivian coup d'état|1936]], [[1937 Bolivian coup d'état|1937]], [[1943 Bolivian coup d'état|1943]], [[1964 Bolivian coup d'état|1964]], [[1969 Bolivian coup d'état|1969]], [[1970 Bolivian coup d'état|1970]], [[1971 Bolivian coup d'état|1971]], [[July 1978 Bolivian coup d'état|1978]]; [[November 1978 Bolivian coup d'état|twice]], [[1979 Bolivian coup d'état|1979]], and [[1980 Bolivian coup d'état|1980]]). Velasco was deposed twice in 1841 and December 1848. Additionally, the [[Cabinet of Hernando Siles Reyes|Council of Ministers]] of [[Hernando Siles Reyes]] was deposed in [[1930 Bolivian coup d'état|1930]]. Three presidents were deposed by a [[Bolivian Civil War|civil war]], a [[1946 La Paz riots|popular uprising]], and a [[Bolivian National Revolution|revolution]]. Transmissions of command from one ''de facto'' government to another ''de facto'' government occurred in seven cases (1841, 1946, 1965, 1966, 1981; twice, and 1982). Two special cases occurred in [[1939 Bolivian coup d'état|1939]] when [[Carlos Quintanilla]] was installed by the military ''after'' the death of Germán Busch and in 1951 when President [[Mamerto Urriolagoitía]] resigned in a [[self-coup]] in favor of a military junta. Two unconstitutional successions occurred in 1930 when Hernando Siles Reyes entrusted command to his council of ministers and 1934 when [[Daniel Salamanca]] was ousted in favor of his vice president, José Luis Tejada Sorzano.<ref>{{harvnb|Mesa Gisbert|2003|p=134}}</ref> Finally, some supporters of Evo Morales claim that he was ousted by a coup d'état and that the presidency of [[Jeanine Áñez]] was an unconstitutional succession of power. However, this is disputed.<ref>{{Cite news|last=Paredes|first=Norberto|date=2019-11-13|title=Evo Morales: ¿hubo un golpe de Estado en Bolivia?

There are seven living former presidents. The most recent to die was [[Luis García Meza]], on 29 April 2018.

Víctor Paz Estenssoro, Jaime Paz Zamora and Rodrigo Paz Pereira are related.
