Jorge Adalberto Choquetarqui Jahuircata (born 23 April 1968) is a Bolivian community organizer and politician who served as a party-list member of the Chamber of Deputies from La Paz from 2010 to 2015.
His organization's decision to put forward new representatives in 2014 meant he was not nominated for reelection.Jorge Choquetarqui was born on 24 April 1968 in El Alto,[1] in what was then a main district of the city of La Paz.
[4] In the years after leaving university, Choquetarqui juggled several entrepreneurial ventures: he operated a small enterprise manufacturing local textiles, made a business purchasing and selling motorcycles, and provided share taxi services from two minibuses he owned.
[3] His support for volunteer efforts led him to serve on the neighborhood council of the 16 de Julio zone of El Alto from 2001 to 2002, and he was elected to the school board[α] of his alma mater, Los Andes, in 2003.
[7] In 2006, Choquetarqui was elected president of the El Alto Parents' Federation (FEDEPAF),[1] the governing body representing the municipality's myriad school boards and parent-teacher associations.
[10] In a similar sense, FEDEPAF maintained a friend-foe accord with the nation's teachers' unions – allies around shared demands, adversaries during periods of prolonged strikes by education workers.
