It’s essential that Colombia ensure its people has a transparent, free and fair election, not only next month, but in May and June. The US will be watching carefully
Monitor Colombia's upcoming elections to ensure they are transparent, free, and fair.
Occurrences
Evidence
El País reported Moreno acted as an election observer on May 31 and said he would return June 21 to observe the runoff.
El País reported Moreno planned to be an observer and argued results should not be accepted where armed coercion tainted votes.
El País reported two Colombian Centro Democrático lawmakers announced Moreno would participate as an international observer on May 31.
AP reported the EU mission said the May 31 count was transparent and Colombia's registrar found only a 0.06% quick-count variation.
AP reported electoral authorities declared De la Espriella winner after the recount, and Cepeda conceded the election.
AP reported Petro alleged fraud without evidence, while EU observers praised the runoff count and the Carter Center called the system reliable and traceable.
Assessments
Moreno appears to have materially attempted the promise during his Senate term: reporting says he arranged to participate as an international observer, acted as an observer for Colombia's May 31, 2026 first-round presidential election, and said he planned to return for the June 21 runoff. Independent observer and election-authority assessments later supported the transparency and reliability of the count. However, the record provided does not confirm that Moreno personally monitored the runoff or that his actions were necessary to ensure the election was free and fair, so this merits partial rather than full delivery.
