Some questions:
What kind of candidates are Alcides Rodriguez: Frente Patriótico Agropecuario de Bolivia (FREPAB) and Nestor Garcia Rojas : Unión Social de los Trabajadores de Bolivia (USTB)?
I haerd that MIR failed and is supporing Tuto, is that right?
What about other "old" parties like UCS, ADN ocn MBL? What happened with the FA? Who will PP and Peredes support?

Fredik,
You're on top of things!
I have very little information on the first two groups, but I imagine judging from their names that they are chasing the same vote that Evo needs.
At the last minute, there was very little support for Hormando Vaca Diez from Jaime Paz Zamora, which means that MIR probably will cease to exist. Paz Zamora is running for Prefect in Tarija under a Citizen's Group. Looks like he no longer believes in his own party.
Paredes is supporting Tuto after overtures with Doria Medina and even Evo.
ADN is basically supporting Tuto in his PODEMOS project.
That is all off the top of my head, as the campaign goes on we should see where the other pieces fit in.

I am probalby Swedens´s most intrested person in Bolivian poltics. :-)
As I have understood a party can not enter parliament if it is not constetsting the presidental elections. The UCS, ADN, MBL and even MIR will cease to exist. But as I have understand MIR vill be active on the prefectural level. That seems quite odd...
About Pereded I am very suprised that he has come out in support for Tuto. This is indicating that Tuto is a clear favourite in this elections?!
