Colombia's presidential elections are scheduled for May 31, 2026, and a second round (if required) on June 21, 2026, in case no candidate secures more than 50% of the valid votes in the first round. This market will resolve according to the listed candidate who receives the second-most valid votes in the first round of this election. The named candidates will be primarily ranked by the number of valid votes received in the specified election. If two or more candidates are tied on valid votes, ties will be broken by alphabetical order of the candidates' last names. This market will resolve to the candidate that occupies the second-highest finishing position after applying this ranking. 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).The contest for second place in Colombia’s May 31 first-round presidential vote has narrowed sharply to a contest between right-wing candidates Abelardo de la Espriella and Paloma Valencia, behind left-wing frontrunner Iván Cepeda. Recent national surveys show de la Espriella holding a consistent edge in that battle, backed by voters prioritizing security, crime reduction, and a harder line against armed groups. Valencia has gained ground within the traditional center-right but trails in most late-April and early-May polling. Trader consensus reflects this positioning, reinforced by de la Espriella’s larger campaign events and consolidated conservative support. Recent campaign-related violence targeting his team and allies has not altered the underlying polling gap, while both candidates continue to focus on economic and security messaging ahead of the vote.
