Not even the most unfavorable one, such as his recent disqualification ratified by the TCP, -under threat of takeover by the evismo-, and which has virtually left him out of the running for the 2025 elections. Furthermore, the image of the former president and coca-growing leader is very deteriorated. after the process opened for allegations of rape, trafficking and human trafficking against him.
The cutting of routes also takes its toll by his followers for 24 days so that the judicial investigation against him is suspended.
