Since Sunday night Federico Fico Gutierrez was the most consistent presidential candidate in Colombia. Although it's not the first time that his name is on election cards - he served as a Medellin councilor and mayor - this was his first attempt to run for president in a national election. With over two millions votes in the Team for Colombia coalition alliance they see him as an attractive candidate for conservative parties and those who are concerned about a leftist presidency. Fico (47 years aged Medellin) is currently the moment, Gustavo Petro's principal opponent. Gustavo Petro was with the Historic Pact Movement one of the candidates who won the elections that determined the representatives of the three biggest political forces.

https://forbes.co/2021/11/25/precandidatos-presidenciales/es-increi... has just begun and the fate of former Medellin mayor of Medellin will hinge on the alliances that he forms and the agreements he enters into. He must not just unite the whole right, but also win over only a tiny portion of the center electorate which was disintegrated on Sunday. He must avoid the situation he has been in so thus far, appearing in the same photograph with Alvaro Uribe. Today's public support for uribism is a first in the last 20 years. Instead of adding, it can subtract. "Federico Gutierrez faces a dilemma. He needs to join the Democratic Center, Uribe’s political party. But he also must convince the center that it can determine where it will move," Yann Basset (an analyst and professor at the University of Rosario) says.

Fico is on its journey to join forces along with CD, which is the centre of uribism, and this Monday Fico is already preparing for its first win. https://thebogotapost.com/fico-eyes-colombias-presidency-an-intervi... who was an aspirant to the presidency, stepped aside to acknowledge the few chances he had of competing against him. We will now see if the entire Uribismo collective - which is without an elected representative is doing the same. Uribe is expected to accept his support and seek to convince his supporters by addressing the traditional issues of Colombian right. This will not prove difficult. He already proved that he can add votes with his speech on "security"," "order", and "love for the country of his fathers". He confirmed this on Sunday during the election consultation, as he did previously during his time at Antioquia’s mayor's offices, where the mayor was also known as the sheriff from Medellin. In a recent trip to Arauca (an area that has been particularly affected by violence) He said "The bandits are either in prison or in the grave." Fico knows well what the Colombian right wing is a fan of but that won't suffice for Fico.

Basset pointed out the fact that "We're not in the years where the fear of the left worked well," and that the electorate isn't being swayed by fear this time around. Basset says Fico would not be able to get Uribe's blessing in the event that the Alvaro Uribe figure isn't the one that the nation has been accustomed to since 2002 in the year 2002, when Uribe was elected president. Even though Uribismo is below the table but that doesn't necessarily mean that Gutierrez cannot count on the support of Uribismo. Uribism helped in the win in the coalition. Basset warns now that his negotiation skills will be evaluated. In relation to this alliance between the former president and Fico, an analyst Andres Mejia Vergnaud remarks "the great difficulty of Federico Gutierrez is that he would like the support of Uribismo but not the photo with Uribe as it doesn't fit him as a candidate".

Gustavo Petro (left) is the only leader. Gustavo Petro (right) is the only candidate who is preparing for the presidential election unless Fico (if he negotiates - is able to convince Fico to let him go and give him his backing. Rodolfo Hernandez remains running despite having run independently. Gutierrez must mention the accomplishments of the former mayor of Bucaramanga and billionaire builder, Rodolfo Hernandez if he will fight against petrismo.

Gutierrez has a lot of work to do before he even considers the names of the presidential formula. But what Gutierrez already has is backing of the other candidates for the leadership of the Team for Colombia alliance. It's not just a little. There are http://www.elnuevosiglo.com.co/articulos/12-09-2021-federico-gutier... -mayors Enrique Penalosa (Bogota), Alex Char (Barranquilla) as his associates. David Barguil (leader of the Conservative Party) as well as Aydee Zarazo (a Christian party member who is a member of the church).

In addition to the more powerful Conservative Party (which won the largest vote among right-wing forces for Congress and more than two million votes) It also is supported by the sympathy of the U Party, which had an outstanding vote at the legislature, winning just under one million votes. Oscar Ivan Zuluaga's backing, who refused to let the election of Sunday pass by in order to accept his loss before a possible conflict for votes from the right gives Fico a boost in the conservative wing but it also keeps him away from potential votes from the center. Alvaro Uribe (ex-President) summoned his party to a gathering on Monday to find out if Fico might risk his chances of gaining a seat in the center in exchange for being publicly granted a blessing by Uribe.
