CONicolás Barguil was elected president of Colombia's Congress with 180 out of 182 votes, securing unanimous support across all parties for his leadership role. Barguil, a 42-year-old marketing professional and second-term congressman, is the nephew of Senator David Barguil from the same Conservative Party. Despite initial expectations that Abelardo's faction might favor Daniel Briceño of the Center Democratic party, Barguil received backing from conservative factions aligned with the political family of former President Juan Manuel Santos. The new congressional leadership includes Simón Molina of 'Creemos' as first vice-president and Erick Velasco of the Historical Pact as second vice-president, reflecting the balance between opposition and governing parties. Miguel Ángel Sánchez of the Liberal Party was elected secretary-general through prior agreement among parliamentary blocs.
