Analysis of precinct-level voting data reveals De la Espriella has successfully appealed to middle-class voters who backed Petro in the 2022 presidential election. These gains are particularly evident in the Teusaquillo district of Bogotá. This suggests a potential shift in voter allegiances within the capital city. The findings, reported by La Silla Vacía, highlight De la Espriella’s ability to capture segments of Petro’s former base. This development could significantly impact the upcoming mayoral election results. The data-driven analysis provides insight into evolving political dynamics in Bogotá.
