Opposition candidate Abelardo de la Espriella achieved a landslide victory in Cúcuta, a city grappling with the threat of terrorist violence. Support for de la Espriella reached as high as 90% in several municipalities within the region. However, the overall final vote share was lower due to results from areas controlled by guerrilla groups. The election took place amid widespread anxieties regarding potential disruptions and intimidation. Despite these concerns, voters demonstrated strong support for the opposition. The results indicate a significant desire for change within the region, even in the face of ongoing security challenges. This win represents a notable outcome in a politically sensitive area.
