The race for Bogotá’s mayoralty is intensifying as the second round approaches. Left-wing candidate Carlos Fernando Cepeda currently holds a lead, but his rival, Carlos Abelardo Gaviria, is rapidly closing the gap. Cepeda’s campaign is focused on increasing voter turnout in the south of the city and expanding support among the middle class – a demographic where opponent Juan Daniel Wills (De la Espriella) previously performed well in the first round. This strategy aims to broaden his base beyond traditional left-leaning areas. Gaviria’s surge presents a significant challenge to Cepeda’s frontrunner status, suggesting a potentially close outcome. The election will likely hinge on mobilizing voters and appealing to undecided citizens in key demographics.
