Yesterday, The Gateway Pundit reported that Trump-backed Abelardo De La Espriella had won the Colombian presidential election over the weekend.  Current President Gustavo Petro, however, called the results into question.  Petro is forbidden from reelection and is contesting the election on behalf of Ivan Cepeda, his party’s candidate.

Since the initial reporting from The Gateway Pundit, President Petro has continued to call into question the election results on social media via his X account.

How will the Establishment Media react to these claims for “audits” and scrutiny over the Colombian election compared to President Trump’s continued scrutiny of unverifiable election results in the United States?  Several claims from President Gustavo Petro are strikingly similar to those uncovered regarding the 2020 election, including unsigned precinct documents and electronic modifications to databases.

THE RIGHT THING: Trump Ally Abelardo De La Espriella Elected New President of Colombia – Incumbent Gustavo Petro Contests Results

The “scrutiny” from Petro began last night with a post and video claiming that polling stations did not have signatures from board members, and those votes “must be challenged” immediately.  The claim from the president is strikingly similar to a report from The Gateway Pundit in December 2025 regarding unsigned poll tapes accounting for hundreds of thousands of votes in Georgia’s Fulton County during the 2020 election.

 

The above post was followed by another, where Petro claimed “the registry is uploading E14 forms without signatures from polling officials.”

Petro’s claims evolved into scrutiny over the software used by Colombia, referencing a 2018 Council of State ruling that it should be replaced with “public software.”

The lame-duck Colombian president stated, “I warned that the software of the Bautista brothers was vulnerable” according to the 2018 report.  “I timely requested an expert audit of the Bautista brothers’ software, and the registrar did not allow it.”

He stated that they have “evidence” of “a change in IP addresses of several servers of the national registry” suggesting that it amounts to the software being “compromised” and that “others wrote data for polling stations and voting posts.”

 

 

 

Another post claims that “scrutiny lawyers” are being prevented from entering Corferias, a convention center in Bogota, the country’s capital.  In the post, Petro requested national police and judges to allow the lawyers entry.

Another post from Petro mentions previous calls for “the registrar and the prosecutor” to allow a “technical audit of the software” prior to the first round of voting and a demand to restore the “Hash lock and timestamp” to ensure the E14 forms were not altered after being uploaded, claiming that it was done to him during his previous election.

“They called me crazy and anti-democratic, as if electoral transparency were a matter for violent people who want to set the country on fire,” he wrote.  “What sets things on fire is the lack of electoral transparency.”

 

Petro also called into question the overseas vote, claiming that, “we’re inching toward the Peruvian situation, where it’s the overseas vote – especially in the U.S. – that puts the president in office.”

Early this morning, Petro posted that he had “asked the police to detain every person who assaults others over the right to scrutiny” in a repost of a video claiming a councilman had “assaulted the lawyers who are recovering the votes” in Medellin, Colombia.  The video, however, shows a man in a blue vest shaking hands with another.

The post itself mentions “vote-buying in Colombia” and “coercion of workers by employers seeking to defeat the labor reform that benefits workers.”

 

Mainstream media outlets thus far has begrudgingly reported the Trump-backed De La Espriella as the winner; however, several outlets are reporting that the results are contested and that they were “razor-thin“.

The Gateway Pundit will update the story as more is learned regarding Petro’s claims and the outcome of Colombia’s presidential election.
