Last Sunday’s Colombian legislative elections not only shaped the parliament of the country but they also indicated the electoral strength of different actors that will put themselves forward in the presidential elections due to take place at the end of May.
It is worth pointing out that last Sunday’s elections coincided with two processes of preliminary consultation that sought to define candidates for the presidential race. On one hand, the Colombian right was divided between three names: Marta Lucía Ramírez (ex-minister of defence for Álvaro Uribe), Alejandro Ordóñez (ex-attorney general) and Iván Duque (the official candidate for the Centre Democratic party, personified by ex-president Álvaro Uribe).
