Despite a significantly low turnout, Colombian presidential candidate Rodolfo De la Espriella received strong support from Colombian citizens residing in Venezuela during recent voting. Only 13.71% of the 180,000 eligible Colombian voters in Venezuela participated, totaling 24,787 votes cast. This represents a considerable drop in participation compared to previous elections. However, those who did vote overwhelmingly favored De la Espriella, indicating a solid base of support within the Venezuelan-based Colombian diaspora. The low participation rate raises questions about logistical challenges or potential disengagement among Colombian residents in Venezuela. The results nonetheless demonstrate De la Espriella’s appeal to this specific electorate. The voting took place as part of the broader Colombian elections.
