00:00In Colombia, President Gustavo Petro called on citizens to register as election observers ahead of the upcoming elections on May
00:0631st, 2026.
00:08The Colombian president argued that the registry has not allowed an independent technical audit of the vote counting software, which
00:15increases the risk of results being manipulated.
00:18The head of state argued that the system requires a technical review and urge citizens to organize, to monitor every
00:25polling station, and ensure that the will of the people is respected.
00:29Petro asserted that citizen mobilization is the only way to ensure electro-transparency and thus prevent irregularities.
00:45Colombian President Gustavo Petro also expressed his gratitude for the public's trust during his four years in office.
00:51Via Digital Platform X, the president said,
00:54I thank the Colombian people as I approach the end of my term.
00:57I am grateful to the Colombian people that 55% of the population views my administration favorably.
01:03Only Lopez Obrador has surpassed that percentage at the end of his term.
01:07I step down with gratitude and a sense of fulfillment.
01:10We must build upon and continue the humane and progressive project we have developed.
