The 2002 Bolivian presidential election took place on 30 June 2002. The election took place on the same day as the 2002 Bolivian legislative election. No candidate won over half of the vote, therefore the National Congress of Bolivia elected the president from the two candidates who had received the most votes in the election. Gonzalo Sánchez de Lozada was elected president, receiving 84 votes in Congress as against 43 votes for Evo Morales.
The 2005 film Our Brand Is Crisis covers the American political campaign marketing tactics employed by Greenberg Carville Shrum (GCS) in support of Sánchez de Lozada.
