Surging pre-election violence—48 massacres and over 249 homicides in 2026—has amplified security concerns, favoring de la Espriella's hardline "El Tigre" stance on crime and gangs, while March parliamentary elections bolstered Petro's left in the Senate but exposed opposition vote-splitting. Divergence from polls reflects trader skepticism of leftist continuity amid economic woes like 8.8% unemployment, with debates and endorsements poised to consolidate anti-Pacto Histórico support or propel Cepeda to a runoff.
