Iván Cepeda Castro dominates trader consensus at 70.5% to win Colombia's 2026 presidential election first round, propelled by his landslide victory in the Pacto Histórico coalition's recent open primary consultation, where he captured over 70% of votes from party supporters amid low turnout. As President Gustavo Petro's party standard-bearer, Cepeda benefits from the left-wing bloc's organizational machinery and incumbency advantages, despite Petro's approval ratings hovering near 30% due to stalled reforms and security issues. Right-wing Senator Paloma Valencia holds 21.4% as the leading opposition figure from Centro Democrático, gaining from anti-administration sentiment on crime and economy. Other candidates trail distantly, signaling a likely two-candidate race; watch rival parties' primaries and 2025 national polls for shifts before the May 3 first round.
