Colombia's 2027 elections could be at risk due to government budget cuts to the National Electoral Council (CNE): the opposition would be the most affected

Following the approval of the General National Budget for 2027 by the Congress of the Republic of Colombia, the National Electoral Council (CNE) has issued warnings that the country's upcoming 2027 local and regional elections are facing logistical risks.

The budgetary constraints implemented by the government on the CNE threaten the operational execution of these electoral processes. According to alerts raised in connection with the funding cuts, political opposition groups are expected to be the entities most significantly impacted by the resulting limitations.
