Franz Choque

Franz Gróver Choque Ulloa (born 26 August 1969) is a Bolivian industrial engineer, lawyer, and politician who served as vice minister of employment, civil service, and cooperatives from 2019 to 2020.

Franz Choque was born on 26 August 1969 in Inquisivi, a rural locale situated in La Paz's tropical Yungas region, to a family of Aymara descent.

As a member of this alliance, Choque was elected to represent Oruro's circumscription 32 in the Constituent Assembly, charged with drafting and developing the text of the country's most recent constitution.

[11] His status as a regional opposition figure gained him particular notoriety in 2013 when he participated as an active leader in the protests that forced the Legislative Assembly to rescind the law renaming Juan Mendoza Airport after President Evo Morales.

However, in its proportional allocation of seats, the Supreme Electoral Tribunal opted to take into account UD's victory in Oruro's special indigenous circumscription in its calculations, thus precluding Choque from reentering parliament.

[5][6] When fellow MDS partisan Jeanine Áñez assumed the presidency in the wake of the 2019 political crisis,[21] Choque joined the interim administration as vice minister of employment, civil service, and cooperatives.

[23] Áñez's decision to campaign for a full presidential term beyond her original mandate had drawn criticism from opponents over her ability to remain an impartial actor in the transition, for which the government took steps to not appear as though it was using state resources to favor her candidacy.
