President Gustavo Petro published a copy of a nullity lawsuit against the election of Abelardo de la Espriella, claiming that 'the people of Colombia elected Ivan Cepeda as president' and emphasizing Israeli influence in the voting process. The lawsuit was filed by six citizens affiliated with Petro’s movement, known as 'digital witnesses,' and submitted to the Fifth Section of the Council of State. It includes 61 pages and requests the annulment of the election results and certain forms used during the vote count. While the lawsuit does not explicitly mention fraud, it highlights structural unverifiability, violations of transparency principles, and inconsistencies in the electoral process. The plaintiffs argue that these issues created a 'zone of evidentiary darkness' that affected the election's integrity. They seek a new audit, independent verification of ballot boxes, and access to technical records to confirm data stability.

Arana emphasized that reliable and affordable energy access is a basic right, essential for improving quality of life, attracting investment, and creating jobs in the region. Similar concerns were raised in the neighboring Atlantic department, where communities also complain about high energy costs and poor service, despite promises made during the previous administration under President Gustavo Petro.
