BOLIVIA’S Attorney General Wilfredo Chavez has challenged the Organisation of American States (OAS) to show proof that it carried out an audit of the country’s 2019 elections, which, at the time, it condemned as fraudulent.
Mr Chavez denounced the Washington-based organisation on Tuesday, saying that its dubious report into the poll had led to the ousting of then-president Evo Morales and plunged Bolivia into chaos.
He said that despite promises from the OAS, it has failed to present the Bolivian government with any documentation showing that it carried out proper investigations into the elections.
