Colombia poll shows De la Espriella leads Iván Cepeda ahead of 2026 runoff

A recent survey in Colombia indicates that opposition candidate De la Espriella holds a 52. 6% lead over incumbent Iván Cepeda for the second‑round presidential vote, reflecting a 7.

6‑point advantage. The poll shows Espriella gaining momentum in the central and northern regions with an anti‑continuity message.

Cepeda retains solid support in Bogotá and the Pacific coast, keeping the race competitive. Other international pollsters report a comparable gap, confirming the trend.

Campaigns from both candidates are now focusing on economic reform and security to sway undecided voters.
