Colombia's presidential elections are scheduled for May 31, 2026, and a second round (if required) on June 21, 2026, in case no candidate secures more than 50% of the valid votes in the first round. This market will resolve to "Yes" if any candidate wins this election in the first round. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". If the result of the first round of this election isn't known by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, the market will resolve to "No". This market will resolve based on the election results, as indicated by a consensus of credible reporting. If there is ambiguity, this market will resolve based solely on the official results as reported by Colombia's National Civil Registry (Registraduría Nacional del Estado Civil) (https://registraduria.gov.co).Recent polls, including those from late March 2026, show leftist candidate Iván Cepeda leading at 35-37% support in the May 31 first-round presidential vote, well below the 50%+1 threshold required for an outright win, with right-wing Abelardo de la Espriella at around 20% and center-right Paloma Valencia near 20%. The fragmented field persists after March 8 legislative elections produced a divided Congress and party primaries that solidified multiple contenders without consolidating voter blocs. Colombia's electoral history favors runoffs, as no candidate has won outright since 2002 amid multiparty competition. Traders' 86% consensus on "No" reflects this polling reality and lack of momentum toward a majority, though turnout or late shifts could influence the outcome ahead of the June 21 runoff if triggered.
