'Duque not the legitimate president of Colombia': runner up in 2018 elections
by Adriaan Alsema July 5, 2020
The runner up in Colombia’s 2018 elections said Sunday that his party no longer recognized the legitimacy of President Ivan Duque and would challenge the results.
In a column on news website Cuarto de Hora, Senator Gustavo Petro said Duque’s victory would not have been possible without the support of the mafia.
Consequently, the opposition leader said he would “take action before judicial bodies, “but fundamentally, the most important field of action is the conscience of our fellow citizens.”
. . .
Petro on Friday said that “Colombia Humana won the elections,” adding on Sunday that evidence Duque’s party conspired with drug traffickers to buy votes added to existing evidence of tampering with ballots.
