The National Electoral Council certified Abelardo de la Espriella as the president-elect of Colombia on June 25, 2026, concluding the presidential election process. The official count showed Abelardo de la Espriella received 12,960,166 votes, while Ivan Cepeda received 2,708,312 votes. Ivan Cepeda conceded defeat earlier on June 24, 2026, after electoral judges struck down most challenges. Independent observers noted that the process was marked by serious deficiencies, including allegations of tampering and forgery at multiple consulates.
