The campaign of Colombian presidential candidate Rodolfo Hernández, led by Marelen Castillo de la Espriella, is alleging widespread voter coercion—dubbed “voto fusil” (bullet voting)—by opposing campaigns in conflict zones. These accusations center on claims that armed groups are pressuring citizens to vote for specific candidates through intimidation and threats. The Iván Cepeda campaign has vehemently denied these allegations, dismissing them as fabrications originating from the far-right. “Voto fusil” refers to the historical practice of armed groups influencing election outcomes through force. La Silla Vacía, a Colombian news outlet, first reported on the escalating tensions and accusations. The claims raise concerns about the fairness and security of the upcoming elections in regions historically affected by armed conflict. This dispute highlights the ongoing challenges to democratic processes in Colombia.
