Gustavo Petro
In 2018, Gustavo Petro was again a presidential candidate, this time getting the second best result in voting counting in the first round on 27 May, and advanced to the second round. During this time, right-wing political enemies of Petro accused him of corruption. During this campaign, he showed support for universal health care, public banking, against fracking and mining in favor of clean energy, and land reform. He lost the election to Ivan Duque while Petro returned to the Senate.
