Will Enrique Peñalosa win the 1st round of the 2026 Colombian presidential election?

“Peñalosa polls in low single digits and is not among frontrunners for the 2026 Colombian election.”

“Peñalosa is a center-right candidate with limited support; recent polls show him well behind frontrunners like Petro and Gutiérrez, making a first-round win unlikely.”

“Peñalosa is a well-known ex-mayor but not a leading national contender for 2026. Winning outright in Colombia’s 1st round is rare and requires broad, dominant support he is unlikely to have.”
