Fajardo accepted Valencia's meeting proposal but set conditions: public venue, early morning at Hotel El Prado in Barranquilla, with all of Colombia able to listen. Recent polls show Valencia's campaign gaining centrist voters after selecting Juan Daniel Oviedo as running mate, while Fajardo and López have dropped below 3% support.

Impacto Geopolítico
🌎
Colombian centrist candidate Fajardo's conditional acceptance of Valencia's meeting signals potential center-right coalition negotiations ahead of 2026 elections, with implications for anti-Petro/anti-Uribe political realignment.

Colombia
Latin America (regional political precedent)
Fragmentation of Colombia's center-left/centrist vote threatens to consolidate power among polarized poles (Petro vs. Uribe). Fajardo's public negotiation tactic maintains independence while exploring coalition options. Valencia's rising VP selection (Oviedo) signals rightward repositioning, potentially absorbing center voters from Fajardo and López.
Similar to 2022 Colombian elections when fragmented center candidates lost ground to polarized extremes; echoes 2018 when centrist Vargas Lleras failed to consolidate moderate vote against Petro-Duque polarization.

Political coalition negotiations may affect policy continuity and economic direction. Centrist alliance formation could influence fiscal, social, and security policies affecting household purchasing power, employment, and inflation expectations.
Coalition outcomes will determine economic policy priorities (fiscal discipline vs. social spending, security investments, labor reforms). Centrist positioning suggests moderate, market-friendly policies. Electoral uncertainty may delay major economic decisions until post-election clarity.
