SUMMARY:Tuesday Seminar in Latin American Politics
DESCRIPTION:<h2>Panel: Anti-Incumbent or Pro-Right? Colombia's 2026 Election and the Road Ahead</h2><p>Colombia elected a new right-wing president, Abelardo de la Espriella, by a razor-thin margin in the June 2026 runoff. De la Espriella ran as an outsider against the political establishment and against Iván Cepeda, the left-wing governing coalition's chosen successor. Yet to govern, he will need the cooperation of the very career politicians he campaigned against given that his party holds only a handful of seats in Congress. Join our panelists to unpack the shift from left to right, the collapse of Colombia's political center, and what to expect from the incoming administration.</p><h3>Speakers</h3><ul><li data-list-item-id="e4fb44336635da81fc1219ba34e93f8f3">Sandra Borda, Associate Professor, Department of Political Science and Global Studies, Universidad de Los Andes.</li><li data-list-item-id="ef398f94d5b6fd6b89ccd3f91e0a88164">Sergio Clavijo, Lecturer Faculty of Economics and Law Dept., Universidad de los Andes, Colombia.</li><li data-list-item-id="eeba750c3f5794c33ebd48c3ff41ad9cf">Yann Basset, Political scientist; PhD, Paris III University.</li></ul><h3>Moderator</h3><ul><li data-list-item-id="e2fd8622edfdde30e135084aed054e192">Alisha Holland, Faculty Associate; Chair, Weatherhead Research Cluster on Business and Government.
