Won center primary; positioning as alternative to left-right polarization
Colombia held its most consequential election day in four years on March 8, simultaneously replacing all 103 senators and 183 members of the House of Representatives while running primary elections for three major political coalitions. President Gustavo Petro's Historic Pact expanded its Senate presence from 20 seats to a projected 25, while the opposition Democratic Center grew from 13 to roughly 17. No party came close to a majority, guaranteeing that whoever wins the May 31 presidential election will govern with a fragmented legislature.
