Lua error in Module:Infobox at line 235: malformed pattern (missing ']'). Jeanine Áñez Chávez[1] (born 13 August 1967, in Trinidad, Beni)[2] is a Bolivian politician and lawyer. She is a Senator, representing Beni, and succeeded to the office of President of Bolivia following the resignation of President Evo Morales and other sudden government resignations on 10 November 2019. She is the first female President of Bolivia.[citation needed]
Her politics have been described as fiercely anti-Morales.[3][4]

Education
Áñez has a graduate degree in law and legal sciences.[3]
Career
Áñez passed the bar in 1991.[3]
She was formerly a media director at Totalvision.[2]
Constituent Assembly (2006-2008)
Between 2006 and 2008, she served as a constituent assemblywoman for the drafting of the new constitutional charter. She was a member of the Constituent Assembly for the commission of organization and structure of the country, also working as part of the Judiciary.[3]
Senate (2010–2019)
In 2010, she was elected as senator as a member of the party Plan Progress for Bolivia-National Convergence (P.P.B - C.N), representing the Department of Beni in the National Assembly.[3][5] By 2019, she was the Second Vice President of the Senate, and her alternate was Franklin Valdivia Leigue.[2] This role placed her fifth in the line of succession to the presidency (after the President).[3]
President (2019–present)
Following the Evo Morales government resignation on 10 November 2019, she became the highest-ranking official in the line of succession to the presidency of Bolivia, and assumed the presidency on 11 November 2019 after convening the Senate to formally accept the resignations of the previous day.[6]
She said that her first hope was to achieve quorum after the many resignations, and then to call new elections.[3] Áñez could not hold an emergency assembly until the day after Morales' resignation, as she was in Beni and there were no Sunday flights from there to the capital of La Paz.[3]
Personal life
She is married to Héctor Hernando Hincapié Carvajal, a Colombian politician.[3]
