Trader consensus on Polymarket heavily favors Senator Iván Cepeda Castro at 70.5% to win the first round of Colombia's 2026 presidential election, driven by his prominence in President Gustavo Petro's left-wing Pacto Histórico coalition and perceived continuity appeal amid the administration's policy push. Paloma Valencia, a Centro Democrático senator, holds second at 21.4%, buoyed by right-wing regrouping and voter frustration with Petro's low approval ratings following economic challenges and security concerns. No major developments like new polls, endorsements, or primaries have emerged in the past 30 days to alter sentiment; odds reflect early skin-in-the-game positioning ahead of the May 2026 vote, vulnerable to shifts from coalition negotiations or scandals.
