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).Recent polling trends have positioned right-wing lawyer Abelardo de la Espriella as the leading contender for second place in Colombia's May 31 first-round presidential vote, with support hovering near 21 percent in late-April surveys from Invamer and Guarumo. His hardline security platform and outsider appeal have consolidated backing among voters dissatisfied with ongoing security challenges, outpacing center-right Democratic Centre candidate Paloma Valencia, who has climbed to roughly 16-20 percent after earlier gains. Left-wing frontrunner Iván Cepeda of the Historic Pact maintains a clear lead at 37-44 percent, making a runoff likely, while lower-polling centrists such as Claudia López and Sergio Fajardo show limited momentum. Upcoming debates and final undecided consolidation could still shift the narrow contest for the runoff berth before election day.
