Rodolfo Hernández, presidential candidate of the League of Anti-Corruption Rulers, assured on Tuesday morning that Sunday’s results buried Uribism, the most influential political current in the country in the last two decades. Therefore, it is impossible for him to make alliances for a second round. “Uribe died on Sunday, how am I going to be campaigning next to a dead man,” said the candidate.
Hernandez’s statements were made in an interview in Radius Snail. In three weeks, he will dispute the Presidency of the Republic with Gustavo Petrowho estimates that Uribismo will now go to his competitor.
The ex-president Alvaro Uribe Velezthe natural leader of the community, has so far kept silent about the path he will take.
For now, individual figures from the Democratic Center, CD, have said they will vote for Hernández.
“He stole the hearts of Colombians,” he said. Maria Fernanda Cabal in reference to the former mayor of Bucaramanga.
“Rodolfo Hernández, only with character, decisively convinced the heart of a country that will surely turn to vote for him,” argued the congresswoman.
“Rodolfo’s triumph is the triumph against the establishment. The country needs changes, not the suicide it offers Petrobut authority, order and the prosperity that a businessman like him offers,” she added.
At the same time, Senator Dove Valenciaafter knowing the results, also announced that he will support Hernández.
“We congratulate engineer Rodolfo Hernández, for his great vote. We will support his purpose of fighting corruption and defeating Petro”, indicated Valencia, who until before the first round elections was in favor of Gutiérrez.
In fact, the senator from Cauca accompanied him on his political escapade through different cities in the country.
“Colombia has decided to opt for change, in the hope that it will be responsible. Citizens know that Petro is not the change that the country requires. It represents suicide. I will accompany the will of the citizens,” said Senator elected by the party Democratic CenterMiguel Uribe.
Although he did not directly express his support for Hernández, it is natural that between the two options he would feel more comfortable going for this one.
