The main person in charge of reducing seats in Congress is me: Álvaro Uribe

The former President of Colombia referred to the coalition responsible for the performance of the Democratic Center in the legislative elections and was able to face Gustavo Petro.

On Tuesday, March 15, Álvaro Uribe Vélez, the former President of Colombia, was responsible for the results of the Democratic Center in the legislative elections in which the ruling party lost a majority of 41 seats in the Congress of the Republic and 5 seats in the Senate. 5 seats in the House of Commons.

This was stated by the former president at a meeting in which members of the collective were summoned last Sunday, March 13, after the election results were known, and he is the only candidate for the union policy that will face the president's first round, except for the Congress of the Republic.

These statements by the former president come a day after Oscar's ruling party candidate Ivan Zulua announced his support for Federico Gutierrez, a candidate for the Colombian team's right-wing alliance, after resigning his aspirations for the Colombian presidency and consulting with Gustavo Petro.
