Trader consensus prices Candidate M and Abelardo de la Espriella as narrow frontrunners to win Colombia's May 31 presidential first round and potential runoff, reflecting a fragmented right-wing vote amid dissatisfaction with incumbent Gustavo Petro's total peace policy failures, highlighted by recent Cauca attacks. Recent polls like Atlas Intel (late April) and Yanhaas tracking show Iván Cepeda leading first-round balloting at 35-44%, but de la Espriella and Paloma Valencia split conservative support at 20-30% combined, enabling Cepeda advancement while keeping overall victory odds tight. Yesterday's endorsement of Valencia by slain Senator Miguel Uribe's widow signals possible right consolidation; upcoming debates and regional turnout could tip the balance toward a unified right challenger in a likely runoff.
