An audit conducted by the Inter-American Institute for Human Rights (Iidh) has found no evidence of manipulation in the first round of the presidential election. The report, delivered to Colombia’s National Civil Registry, assessed the electoral processes throughout the entire cycle. Auditors determined the processes operated “in accordance with design and contract,” indicating no irregularities were detected. This finding aims to reinforce the credibility of the election results amid previous claims of fraud. The audit covered all stages of the election, from preparation to vote counting. Officials hope the report will quell concerns and bolster public trust in the electoral system as the country prepares for the second round. The Iidh’s assessment provides independent verification of the election’s integrity.
