In the space of three days, Senator Paloma Valencia has become the candidate to beat in Colombia’s presidential elections in May. The Uribista leader won the center-right primary on Sunday, garnering more than 3.2 million votes, support that has focused media attention on her and the vice-presidential candidate she must announce by Friday. Although many of her allies expected her to choose Juan Daniel Oviedo, the runner-up in the primary with 1.2 million votes, he presented her with a difficult line to negotiate on Monday: that she back down on her criticism of the 2016 peace agreement with the FARC guerrillas and stop her attacks on the special tribunal it created (the JEP). Essentially, Oviedo demanded she abandon a central tenet of Uribismo —the movement created by former president Álvaro Uribe — that has stood for more than a decade.
