Abroad vote, second round
Hernández (60.75%)
Petro (37.52%)
Blank (1.72%)
Hernández called Petro to congratulate him on his victory. He also encouraged Petro to remain committed to the "anti-corruption discourse". Hernández and Marelen Castillo also thanked Colombians that voted for them.[ 6] Castillo announced shortly after the election that she would accept a seat in the chamber of representatives reserved for the second-place vice presidential candidate. She also encouraged Hernández to take a senate seat, although he was still to decide.[ 7]
International reactions [ edit ]
Argentinien : President Alberto Fernández and Vice President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner both congratulated Petro and Márquez. President Fernández added that "[their] victory reafirms democracy and reasures the path toward a united Latin America".[ 8]
Chile : President Gabriel Boric congratulated Petro and called his victory "joy" for Latin America. Boric also congratulated Márquez and invited Petro to "work together for the unity of [Latin America] in a rapidly changing world."[ 9]
Mexiko : President Andrés Manuel López Obrador described Petro’s victory as a "historic event" and that it bought about an end to a period of "domination." Obrador also characterised Petro’s triumph as a win for the "progressive bloc".[ 10]
