Colombia's presidential election first round is scheduled for May 31, 2026, with two candidates advancing to a second round on June 21, 2026 if no candidate secures more than 50% of the valid votes in the first round. This market will resolve according to the listed pair of candidates that advance to the second round of the 2026 Colombian presidential election. If any candidate wins this election outright in the first round, this market will resolve to “1st Round Outright Winner”. If any candidate pair other than the listed pairs advances to the second round of the 2026 Colombian presidential election, this market will resolve to “Other”. If the results of the first round of the Colombian presidential election are not known by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to "Other". This market will resolve based on the election results, as indicated by a consensus of credible reporting. If there is ambiguity, this market will resolve based solely on the official results as reported by Colombia's National Civil Registry (Registraduría Nacional del Estado Civil) (https://registraduria.gov.co).Recent polling trends position left-wing candidate Iván Cepeda of the Historic Pact as the clear frontrunner for Colombia’s May 31 first-round presidential vote, while far-right lawyer Abelardo de la Espriella has edged ahead of center-right senator Paloma Valencia in consolidating conservative support. This dynamic drives the market’s strong preference for the Cepeda–de la Espriella pairing to reach the June runoff. Intensifying final-week campaigning, including regional rallies and public exchanges between the two right-wing contenders, has reinforced de la Espriella’s momentum. Cepeda’s selection of indigenous senator Aida Quilcué as running mate has further solidified his base without pushing him over the 50 percent threshold needed for an outright win. Voter concerns over security, corruption, and economic policy continue to shape these positioning trends ahead of the vote.
