Colombia's May 31 election pits three candidates with opposite records on oil, investment, security, and foreign policy.

Colombia heads to presidential elections on May 31, 2026, with a June 21 runoff if needed. Here are the five candidates most likely to become vice president.

The largest forces in Colombia’s new Congress will be the left-wing Pacto Histórico with 22% of the vote, and the right-wing Centro Democrático with 15%. The next president will likely have to govern through coalitions and alliances.

Following the March 8 primaries, Colombia’s presidential race now centers on six candidates, although some may withdraw or join to alliances after weak results.
