presidential election in Colombia From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The first round of the presidential elections was held in Colombia on 29 May 2022 to elect the 34th President.[1] Since no candidate won a majority of the vote in the first round, a second round of voting will be held on 19 June.[2] President Iván Duque cannot run for another term because Colombian presidents are term limited for a single four year term.[3] Gustavo Petro won the runoff, becoming the first left-wing candidate to be elected president of Colombia.[4][5]

In the first round, left-wing Senator Gustavo Petro and right-wing populist former Bucaramanga mayor Rodolfo Hernández Suárez advanced to the run-off.[6] Hernández Suárez, who came in third during voter pollings, came in second place against Federico Gutiérrez after an increase in support, weeks before the first round began.[7]
While Petro was seen as the front-runner in polls before the first round, he has almost been tied in pollings against Hernández Suárez.[8][9] In the June run-off, Petro was elected president, winning 50% of the vote to Hernández Suárez's 47% of the vote, becoming the country's first leftist president.[10]
