Trader consensus on Polymarket heavily favors Senator Iván Cepeda Castro (69%) as the frontrunner for Colombia's 2026 presidential election first-round winner, driven by his leadership role in President Gustavo Petro's left-wing Pacto Histórico coalition and strong base among progressive voters despite Petro's declining approval ratings. Paloma Valencia (19.1%), a Centro Democrático senator, captures right-wing anti-incumbent sentiment in a fragmented field where no other candidate exceeds 3%. Recent Invamer and Datexco polls from late 2024 show Cepeda polling competitively around 15-20% in early hypotheticals, bolstered by intra-left unity talks, while Valencia benefits from conservative consolidation efforts. Upcoming party primaries in 2025 and Petro's potential endorsements could further sway probabilities amid economic pressures and security concerns shaping voter priorities.
