The Organization of American States (OAS), in response to an invitation from the Government of Bolivia, has decided to send a Mission of Electoral Observation that is to begin its activities next week.
With this goal, OAS Secretary General José Miguel Insulza appointed Horacio Serpa Uribe, the Governor of Santander, Colombia, Chief of the Mission that will observe the electoral process. Serpa Uribe is to begin a visit to Bolivia on Monday during which he will sign the agreements that establish the conditions for the observation of the next general elections, formally establishing the Mission. Furthermore, he will hold interviews and meetings with electoral, political, and government authorities, as well as representatives of the international community.
The renowned Colombian leader is one of the most experienced public servants of his Country. He presided over the National Constituent Assembly of 1991. He was several times Peace negotiator and has held the highest posts of Government, as Mayor, Congressman, Senator, Presidential Advisor, Attorney General, and Secretary of State and the Interior. He was also the Liberal Party’s candidate for the Presidency of the Republic.
Horacio Serpa has served as diplomat and represented Colombia as Ambassador before the OAS. Also, he has been Chief of Mission of the Electoral Observation of the OAS for the General Elections of 2005. Serpa Uribe has also worked as an academic, a newspaper columnist, has published five books on subjects related to peace, politics, human rights and democracy, and has been a speaker and international consultant.
For the general elections of December, the Mission is expected to deploy observers in the nine departments of the Bolivian territory, for the purpose of witnessing the development of the organization and administration of the elections as much as of the political campaign.
