Between 24 and 27 November 2013 the party hosted the annual meeting of the Global Greens Coordination (GGC) in the Bolivian capital of La Paz.[5] During this meeting, the PVB announced its intention to run jointly with the National Council of Ayllus and Markas of Qullasuyu for the October 2014 general elections the following year.[6]
On June 26, 2014, the PVB finalized its election candidates. Fernando Vargas Mosua, leader of the indigenous communities of the Isiboro Sécure National Park and Indigenous Territory, was to be the party's candidate for president, while the party leader and founder Margot Soria Saravia took the role of vice presidential candidate.[7] With 24,685 out of 27,403 polling stations having reported in the Green Party had gained 126,958 votes in the presidential elections, a total of 2.79%.[8]
