Gustavo Bolívar continues to sow doubts about the election results: This is very serious

On June 22, the National Electoral Council (CNE) of Colombia rejected a request by former presidential candidate Iván Cepeda to conduct a manual recount of votes cast abroad. The CNE explained that the Constitution mandates the use of data collected by the Registrar’s Office during the eight days of voting at Colombian consulates overseas, making it impossible to bring all physical ballots back to Colombia. This decision was criticized by former senator Gustavo Bolívar, who expressed doubts about the election results, arguing that the process lacked transparency. He claimed that the electoral census was compromised, particularly in overseas voting, which contributed significantly to the victory of Abelardo De La Espriella, the elected president. Bolívar accused the Registrar’s Office of altering the E14 forms after they were submitted, removing timestamps and cryptographic hashes, which he said undermined the integrity of the election.

The Colombian presidential election held on June 21 resulted in Abelardo De La Espriella winning the second round according to preliminary counts, securing a narrow lead over Iván Cepeda.

Abelardo llega al poder con ayuda de la IA y siguiendo el modelo de la nueva derecha

The article discusses the election victory of Abelardo de la Espriella in Colombia, attributing his success to the strategic use of artificial intelligence (AI) in his campaign. It highlights how he employed AI-generated videos and imagery, drawing inspiration from figures like Donald Trump and Javier Milei, to craft a narrative positioning himself as an outsider and 'salvador' of the country.

His win was narrow but significant, surpassing the leftist candidate Ivan Cepeda despite the latter having access to state resources. The article frames De la Espriella’s approach as part of a broader trend among 'new right' politicians using digital tools to reshape political discourse.
