Colombian President Gustavo Petro has reiterated claims of fraud in the nation’s June election, which his party lost narrowly to conservative leader Abelardo de la Espriella.

Abelardo de la Espriella is poised to become Colombia’s next president.

In a story published May 31, 2026, about the Colombian election, The Associated Press erroneously reported the candidate's first name as Aberaldo.

Former Colombian President Álvaro Uribe has been sentenced to 12 years of house arrest for witness tampering and bribery.
