In the latest survey by the National Consulting Center, in which he appears with 20.9% of voting intentions, Senator Iván Cepeda Castro stands out from the large group of presidential candidates to succeed Gustavo Petro in the 2026 elections. It is only the second data known since the end of the ban of several months that imposed a new law on electoral opinion studies, with Cepeda already candidate of the Historical Pact, after winning the popular consultation on Sunday 26 October. He follows the far-right candidate Abelardo de la Espriella, with 14.4%, and the former mayor of Medellín Sergio Fajardo, with 7.8%.
In a particularly crowded and fragmented campaign, the survey includes 17 names. Ask which of them I would vote for if the election were held next Sunday. After Cepeda, De la Espriella and Fajardo, another representative of the so-called political center appears, Claudia López, the former mayor of Bogota who has promised that she will remain alone until the end, with 5.0%.
Miguel Uribe Londoño, father of the murdered senator Miguel Uribe Turbay, follows with 4.1%. Uribe Londoño is the first of the pre-candidates of the Democratic Center, the right-wing party founded and led by former president Álvaro Uribe. The former senator Juan Manuel Galán, of New Liberalism, has 3.3% and the communicator Vicky Dávila, former director of the Semana magazine, 3.2%. The other candidates are below 2% of voting intentions.
