Encyclopedic overview

The Movement for Socialism – Political Instrument for the Sovereignty of the Peoples (Spanish: Movimiento al Socialismo – Instrumento Político por la Soberanía de los Pueblos; MAS or MAS-IPSP) is a socialist political party in Bolivia. Its followers are known as Masistas.

In the December 2005 election, MAS-IPSP won the first majority victory ever won by a single Bolivian party since Bolivia's return to democracy, electing Evo Morales as president. The party went on to win the next four general elections by a majority, ruling until 2025, when their support collapsed during that year's election. MAS–IPSP also dominated the municipal elections during this period.
