Gustavo Petro
In 2021, Petro announced his candidacy for the 2022 elections. In September 2021, Petro announced that he would retire from politics if he were to lose this election. During this campaign, he focused on climate change reform, clean energy and fixing the country's economic inequalities. He also promised to raise taxes on the richest 4,000 Colombians and would support having President Iván Duque be on trial for police brutality committed during the 2021 Colombian protests. When he won the Historic Pact primary, Petro picked Afro-Colombian human rights and environmental activist Francia Márquez, to be his running mate.
