Incumbent President Gustavo Petro Humane Colombia

Presidential elections are scheduled to be held in Colombia in May 2026. Incumbent President Gustavo Petro, elected in 2022, is constitutionally barred from seeking a consecutive second term. ^[1]

Background

Further information: 2022 Colombian presidential election

In the previous presidential election in 2022, as none of the presidential nominees obtained at least 50% of the votes in the first round, a runoff was held between the top two candidates, Gustavo Petro and Rodolfo Hernández Suárez. ^[2] Petro won the run-off, becoming the first left-wing candidate to be elected president of Colombia since the country's independence in 1810. ^{[3] [4] [5]} The results for the second round saw the lowest record of spoiled and blank ballots in over 20 years and a turnout of 58.17%, the highest since 1998. ^[6]

Since taking office, Petro and his allies have been involved in several scandals. ^[1] One scandal, nicknamed "Nannygate", involved the publishing of recordings of then ambassador to Venezuela, Armando Benedetti, speaking with Petro's Chief of Staff, Laura Sarabia, about possible illegal financing and threats of revealing compromising information on campaign rivals. Both of were forced to resign from their positions as a result. The scandal lowered approval of Petro, being viewed by the public as an indication of corruption inside the government. ^{[7] [8]} His presidential approval rating dropped to a low of 26% in July 2023 according to a Datexco survey. ^[9]

In 2025, Petro fired his entire cabinet to reassess his previous choices in light of his appointment of Armando Benedetti as Chief of Staff and promotion of 30-year-old Laura Sarabia to Foreign Minister; both were embroiled in a campaign finance scandal. ^[10] His key labor and healthcare reforms stalling at the legislative branch, ^[11] the arrest of his son in a money laundering scandal involving campaign financing, ^{[12] [13]} and the scandal involving his ministers contributed to a decrease in public support for the president. ^{[14] [15]}

Electoral system

Further information: Elections in Colombia and Politics of Colombia

Colombian presidents are elected for four-year terms using a two-round system; if no candidate receives a majority of the vote in the first round, a runoff is held between the top two candidates. ^[16] The vice president is elected on the same ticket as the president. Presidents are limited to a single four-year term, and Article 191 of the constitution requires candidates to be Colombian by birth and at least thirty years old. In line with the constitution, Colombian citizens by birth or by naturalization, aged eighteen or older have the right to vote. Several scenarios can cause the loss of the right to vote, as outlined in the constitution. Citizens in detention centers can vote from the establishments determined by the National Civil Registry. The civil registry inscription is not automatic, and citizens must go to the regional office of the registry to register. ^[17] Legislative Act No. 2 of 2015 established that the runner-up in the presidential elections is given a seat in the Senate and their vice president candidate becomes a member of the Chamber of Representatives. ^[18]

In order to be accepted as a candidate, applicants must either have the backing of a recognized political party in order to run as their official candidate, or to collect a minimum number of signatures in order to run as an independent candidate.^{[ citation needed ]}
