In a strategic move that shakes the political landscape of the center-right in Colombia, the Podemos party, founded and led by the current mayor of Medellín, Federico “Fico” Gutiérrez, today made official its support for the presidential candidacy of lawyer Abelardo de la Espriella.

Alliance for the “recovery of the homeland”

The decision was announced in the capital of Antioquia, consolidating what is emerging as a unified opposition bloc against the continuity of leftist projects in power. According to the official statement, the accession seeks to align forces around the figure of De la Espriella under premises of security, defense of institutions and the fight against corruption.

Currently, De la Espriella is positioned as one of the strongest figures in voting intention surveys:

Current scenario: He is in second place with 18.2%, behind Iván Cepeda (Pacto Histérico), who leads with 33.6%.

Second round: The polls suggest an eventual technical tie or advantage for De la Espriella in second round scenarios against candidates like Sergio Fajardo.

The alliance of the Podemos movement and Abelardo de la Espriella shows the electoral power that the current mayor Federico Gutiérrez has managed to consolidate in the department and that will bring the presidential candidate more votes towards his goal of reaching the Casa de Nariño.

We believe he adheres to Abelardo de la Espriella and receives the support of the strongest right in Antioquia
