The
results of the first round of the
Colombian 2022 presidential elections, held on May 29, 2022, led to a second ballot between the two most voted candidates: Gustavo Petro (Pacto Histórico) and Rodolfo Hernández (Liga de Gobernantes Anticorrupción). Petro won the runoff elections with nearly
11.3 million votes, that is, 50.44 percent of votes cast.
The left-wing coalition Pacto Histórico was the most voted option in 17 electoral districts and obtained its best result in the department of Chocó, where 81.94 percent of voters opted for Gustavo Petro as the next president and Francia Márquez as vice-president. Nevertheless, the coalition obtained its largest number of votes in Bogotá, where about 2.25 million voters (58.59 percent of the total in the district) opted for their former mayor, Petro. On the other hand, Liga de Gobernantes Anticorrupción won in another 17 electoral districts and was particularly popular in Santander, whose capital, Bucaramanga, was led by Hernández from 2016 to 2019.
