Amid a tense atmosphere, the presidential elections in the Mayor's Office of Bogotá are taking place with great expectations from voters who register and cast their votes during this Sunday of elections in Colombia, where the population will decide who will be their next president.
According to Ingrid Sánchez, for Global Exchange and Peninsula 360 Press, the vast majority of voters, who are showing great enthusiasm around the voting booths, declare that they eagerly await the results in favor of the Historic Pact formula.
However, the perception of electoral sentiment among some voters in the area differs, as for some the heated atmosphere is a stage for fraud to take place, while for others everything is going smoothly.
The majority of the population that has gone out to vote is doing so with the hope that the election results will favor Gustavo Petro, in whom they place their hopes that he will "end hunger and insecurity in the region" because they claim that, otherwise, if Rodolfo Hernández, the presidential candidate with the League of Anti-Corruption Governors, were to win, social inequality would reign.
