elecciones colombia 2026: Petro’s Succession Trap – Why the Market Is Already Pricing in a Shock Runoff

The real story isn’t who wins—it’s how the sudden collapse of centrist confidence triggers a liquidity crisis in local bonds before the final vote is cast. CEOs with Colombian exposure: your P&L is now a political derivative.
