Chuquisaca is a department of Bolivia located in the center south. It borders on the departments of Cochabamba, Tarija, Potosí, and Santa Cruz. The departmental capital is Sucre, which is also the constitutional capital of Bolivia.

The Chuquisaca Revolution was a popular uprising on 25 May 1809 against the governor and intendant of Chuquisaca, Ramón García León de Pizarro. The Real Audiencia of Charcas, with support from the faculty of University of Saint Francis Xavier, deposed the governor and formed a junta. The revolution is known in Bolivia as the "First libertarian scream", meaning, the first step in the Spanish American wars of independence; but historians dispute whether such a description is accurate or not.

Alliance for Chuquisaca is an electoral alliance in Chuquisaca department created in May 2010. It emerged from Jhon Cava's unsuccessful candidacy for Governor of Chuquisaca under the electoral line We Are All Chuquisaca. Following the elections, Jhon Cava headed a process involving over 100 founders to register a new political party which includes Nationalist Revolutionary Movement (MNR), National Unity Front (UN), and the Citizen Power Movement. Cava stated that the ideological foundations of the party include loyalty, democracy, liberty, and defense of the sacred interests of Chuquisaca.
