Colombia’s ruling party to be top force in Senate, but without majority
關鍵資訊
Colombia’s ruling party, the left-leaning Historic Pact, won 25 out of 102 Senate seats in Sunday’s legislative elections, making it the largest political bloc in the incoming Senate.
分析與背景
The Historic Pact, which brought President Gustavo Petro to power in 2022, is now the strongest force in the Senate. However, it failed to secure an absolute majority, meaning it will need to form coalitions to advance key legislation.
Analysts note that the political landscape remains fragmented, with the right-wing Democratic Center also winning a significant number of seats. If the right-wing wins the presidency, the ruling party may face challenges in maintaining influence or passing policies.
