Edmand Lara Montaño (born 16 October 1985) is a Bolivian politician, lawyer, activist, and former police officer who is the 40th and current vice president of Bolivia since 2025, following the Bolivian general election.
Lara served for 15 years in the Bolivian National Police, rising to the rank of captain, until he was arrested and dismissed after reporting an extortion attempt against him by senior officers, as well as cases of corruption involving other members of the force. This episode led him to become an activist against police corruption, and the public notoriety he gained from his activism propelled his entry into politics.
