These are the departments and peace seats that already have their representatives fixed

A week after Colombia's legislative elections were held, amidst controversies and questions, the National Civil Registry Office reported that eleven of the country's 32 departments had already declared the election of candidates to the House of Representatives and eleven of the 16 Special Transitional Constituencies of Peace ( Citrep).

The entity, which has been strongly questioned in recent days by communities from all over the political arena in view of the evidence of countless inconsistencies in the vote count, handed over the consolidation of the departmental scrutinies of the Amazon, Arauca, Caquetá, Caldas, Casanare, Chocó, La Guajira, Guainía, Putumayo, Sucre and Vaupés, which represent one third of the national territory.

According to the scrutiny, which has been criticized because it has historically presented a difference of close to 0.5% except for these elections in which the discrepancy was according to the Democratic Center of 7%, the political groups and the declared representatives are:

For the Amazon: Monica Karina Bocanegra Pantoja of the Colombian Liberal Party; and Yenica Sugein Acosta Infante of the Centro Democrático Party.

Arauca: Germán Rogelio Rozo Anís of the Colombian Liberal Party; and Lina María Garrido Martín of the Radical Change Party.

Caqueta: Gilma Diaz Arias of the Colombian Liberal Party; and Hector Mauricio Cuellar Pinzón of the Colombian Conservative Party.

Caldas: José Octavio Cardona León of the Colombian Liberal Party; Juana Carolina Londoño Jaramillo of the Colombian Conservative Party; Santiago Osorio Marín of the Historical and Greens Pact; Juan Sebastián Gómez Gonzales of the Together for Caldas Coalition; and Wilder Iberson Escobar Ortiz of People in Movement.

Casanare: Hugo Alfonso Archila Suárez of the Colombian Liberal Party; and Edinson Vladimir Olaya Mancipe of the Centro Democrático Party.

Chocó: Jhoany Carlos Alberto Palacios Mosquera of the Colombian Liberal Party; and Astrid Sánchez Montes de Oca of the Party of The U.

La Guajira: Juan Loreto Gómez Soto of the Colombian Conservative Party; and Jorge Alberto Cerchiaro Figueroa of the Colombia Renaissance Party.

Guainía: Carlos Alberto Cuenca Chaux of the Radical Change Party; and Alexander Guarín Silva of the Party of La U.

Putumayo: Carlos Adolfo Ardila Espinosa of the Colombian Liberal Party; and Jorge Andrés Cancimance López of the Historical Pact Coalition.

Sucre: Karyme Adrana Cotes Martínez of the Colombian Liberal Party; Milene Jarava Díaz of the U Party; and Luis David Suárez Chadid of the Colombian Conservative Party and Centro Democrático Party Coalition.

Vaupés: Camilo Esteban Ávila Morales of the U Party; and Hugo Danilo Lozano Pimiento of the Centro Democrático Party.

These results show the important vote obtained by the Colombian Liberal Party, in which it almost records that one representative per department scrutinized, at the same time, confirms the good results of the Conservative Party, which once again positioned itself as one of the largest seats in Congress.

However, some of the names of the representatives who were already notified of their election after the count, of which the European Union Electoral Observation Mission (EU EOM) alerted “unusually large” discrepancies with regard to the pre-count, have been controversial because of their proximity to regional gamonales, links with groups paramilitaries and for being heirs of convicted politicians.

In turn, the Registrar confirmed that eleven of the 16 Special Transitional Constituencies of Peace (Citrep) have already been declared, seats in the House of Representatives that were reserved for victims of the armed conflict, as part of one of the points established in the Peace Agreement of the Colombian State and the demobilized guerrilla of the FARC.

Constituency 2: Karen Astrith Manrique Olarte of the Intercultural and Regional Victims Association.

Constituency 3: Jhon Jairo González Agudelo of the Association of Displaced Persons of the municipality of Briceño,

Circumscription 4: Diogenes Quintero Amaya of the Association of Displaced Families of Hacari-Asofadhaca.

Constituency 5: Jhon Fredy Núñez Ramos of the Social Equality Foundation.

Circumscription 6: James Hermenegildo Mosquera Torres of the Mayor Community Council of Novita Cocoman.

Constituency 9: Orlando Castillo Advincula of the Naya River Community Council.

Constituency 10: Gerson Lisímaco Montaño Arizala of the South Pacific Community Council Network Corporation - Recompas.

Circumscription 11: Jhon Fredi Valencia Caicedo of the Los Andes Community Council.

Circumscription 13: Juan Carlos Vargas Soler of the Association of Cocoa Producers - Aprocasur.

Circumscription 15: Haiver Rincón Gutiérrez of Association of Victims Nucleo Santiago Pérez - Asvicnusaper.

Circumscription 16: Karen Juliana López Salazar from I am Urabá.

These constituencies, which were first elected in these elections, would have design flaws linked to the exclusion of municipal capitals, in which many displaced persons live from conflict zones; funding of candidacies; and security guarantees for candidates that prevented them from campaigning in some territories , as identified by the EOM of the European Union.
