 | | As the leader of the cocaleros, Morales was elected to the Chamber of Deputies in 1997 as a representative of the provinces of Chapare and Carrasco in the department of Cochabamba. | | | In March, the eviction of Morales from Congress was declared unconstitutional, but he did not reclaim his congressional seat until the new Congress was sworn in on August 4. | | | Morales nonetheless declared his candidacy for the following presidential and congressional elections, to be held on June 27. |

| | Evo Morales did not take long after his inauguration as Bolivia's new president on 22 January 2006 to make his political intentions clear. | | | Evo's inaugural speech on 22 January called for greater respect both for the country's downtrodden indigenous majority and for Bolivia's sovereignty. | | | The third oppositional force lies in the undisguised anatagonism in Washington where, on both sides of the political divide, Morales tends to be seen as a beneficiary of the drugs trade and friend of such "anti-American" figures as Cuba's Fidel Castro and Venezuela's Hugo Chávez. |
