Presidential elections were held in Colombia on 29 May 2022.[1] As none of the presidential nominees obtained at least 50% of the votes, a runoff was held on 19 June 2022, between the top two candidates, Gustavo Petro and Rodolfo Hernández Suárez.[2] Petro won the runoff, becoming the first left-wing candidate to be elected president of Colombia.[3][4]

Results[edit]

Candidate with the most votes in the first round by municipality:
  Gustavo Petro–Francia Márquez

Aftermath[edit]

Hernández called Petro to congratulate him on his victory. He also encouraged Petro to remain committed to the "anti-corruption discourse". Hernández and Marelen Castillo also thanked Colombians that voted for them.[6] Castillo announced shortly after the election that she would accept a seat in the chamber of representatives reserved for the second-place vice presidential candidate. She also encouraged Hernández to take a senate seat, although he was still to decide.[7]

International reactions[edit]

  •  Argentina: President Alberto Fernández and Vice President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner both congratulated Petro and Márquez. President Fernández added that "[their] victory reafirms democracy and reasures the path toward a united Latin America".[8]
  •  Chile: President Gabriel Boric congratulated Petro and called his victory "joy" for Latin America. Boric also congratulated Márquez and invited Petro to "work together for the unity of [Latin America] in a rapidly changing world."[9]
  •  Mexico: President Andrés Manuel López Obrador described Petro’s victory as a "historic event" and that it bought about an end to a period of "domination." Obrador also characterised Petro’s triumph as a win for the "progressive bloc".[10]
