Trader consensus favors Iván Cepeda Castro at 72% to win Colombia's presidential first-round vote on May 31, 2026, driven by post-legislative election polls showing him leading at 34-40% following the Historic Pact's congressional gains on March 8. Cepeda's momentum stems from formalizing his candidacy, revealing a running mate, and consolidating left-wing support amid President Petro's base turnout. Paloma Valencia's 19.1% reflects her recent surge to second place (19-22% in latest surveys like CNC and Guarumo) after a landslide conservative primary win, overtaking Abelardo de la Espriella as the right fragments between Uribista and independent factions. Upcoming debates and regional turnout in battlegrounds could shift the closely contested field.
