Former Senate leader Eva Copa is vying for Mayor of El Alto under the Jallalla La Paz alliance, the same line as venerable indigenous radical Felipe Quispe (for governor) and cumbia singer David Castro (for La Paz Mayor). https://twitter.com/CarwilBJ/status/1344047062418120706
This is a huge deal, because Eva Copa was the domestic face of opposition to the Añez government. https://twitter.com/CarwilBJ/status/1318386407543656453
The failure of the MAS-IPSP to nominate Eva Copa for mayor of El Alto was the second punch, after ignoring her in their 2020 national candidate lists.

Multiple reports of MAS politicians (but certainly not the most senior, Evo Morales or Luis Arce) lamenting her departure from the party.
