🗳🇨🇴 Continued Observation: IAPEE Experts Monitor the Runoff in Colombia

On June 21, Colombia held the second round of presidential elections, with Abelardo de la Espriella and Iván Cepeda competing for the presidency after no candidate reached the 50% threshold in the first round. The runoff determined the country’s leader for the 2026–2030 term. Turnout remained solid, reflecting the high stakes of this electoral process.

🌏 Following up on our mission during the first round, the International Association of Political and Electoral Expertise (IAPEE), with the support of the Observatory of Electoral Studies (OEEPI-UNLP), once again organized an observation team at overseas polling stations. This time, the mission brought together five observers from four countries, representing diverse regions across the globe.

📊 In parallel, our colleagues from Campaign Insider | Pavel Dubravsky prepared an in‑depth analytical report on the Colombian elections. The study offered a thorough assessment of the electoral landscape and provided a well‑grounded forecast on the likely winner. Their insights added significant value to our broader understanding of the race and complemented our on‑the‑ground observations.
