President Gustavo Petro of Colombia stated on Sunday that he rejects the preliminary election count results showing his preferred candidate, Senator Iván Cepeda, trailing far-right candidate Abelardo de la Espriella in what appears to be a senatorial race.

Colombia's House of Representatives Investigation and Accusation Commission opened a formal investigation into President Gustavo Petro over allegations that his 2022 presidential campaign received illicit financing from the criminal gang La Inmaculada. An audio attributed to extradited gang leader Andrés Felipe Marín claims he delivered money to Petro's campaign through the president's brother Juan Fernando Petro, though the president denied the allegations and characterized them as attempted blackmail.
