According to the provisions of the Bolivarian Constitution, after the president resigns, successors will be vice president, chairman of the Senate, first vice president of the Senate, and chairman of the House of Representatives. However, all of these executives filed for resignation shortly after Morales announced his departure.

Therefore, Anez, vice president of the Bolivian Senate, asserted that he was the most suitable person to serve as interim president since 11/11. Anez emphasized that her government was only interim, operating until a new election was held.

Anez is a member of the opposition Democratic Union Party, famous for repeatedly criticizing Morales' policies.

Morales, Bolivia's first indigenous president, resigned on November 10 after 14 years in power. He encountered a wave of intense protests after declaring victory in the election on October 20 to continue to hold a fourth term. The day after resigning, he applied for asylum in Mexico.

The sudden departure of Morales and many senior officials has created chaos and many power gaps in Bolivia. Hundreds of supporters of Morales on November 11 marched in the streets of the capital La Paz, prompting opposition leader Carlos Mesa to ask police for protection for fear of being attacked.
