El ex-presidente Gustavo Petro anunció que no asistirá a la ceremonia de posesión del nuevo presidente electo, Abelardo De La Espriella, el 7 de agosto, debido a su creencia de que hubo un fraude electoral de 848.000 votos. Petro sostiene que este fraude no ha sido comprobado judicialmente y, por ello, declara su ausencia tanto física como simbólica. Aunque tradicionalmente el presidente saliente participa en esta ceremonia, Petro argumenta que no puede reconocer públicamente a un mandatario que, según él, no representa la voluntad popular. Por otro lado, De La Espriella ha confirmado que se posesionará en una base militar del sur del país, pese a las objeciones de Petro. El proceso aún enfrenta resistencias dentro del Congreso, donde algunos grupos políticos se oponen a la celebración del juramento en un entorno militar.
