Election uncertainty may lead to currency volatility (Colombian peso depreciation), higher borrowing costs for consumers, delayed business investments, and potential job market slowdown as companies postpone expansion decisions pending political clarity.
Potential for institutional review of electoral processes; risk of policy reversals depending on runoff outcome; international pressure for transparent electoral validation; possible IMF/World Bank scrutiny of governance; need for constitutional court intervention to resolve legitimacy questions.
