Iván Cepeda Castro's commanding trader consensus at 91.5% implied probability to win Colombia's presidential first round on May 31 stems from consistent polling leads, including Invamer's April survey showing him at 44.3%—more than double Abelardo de la Espriella's 21.5% and Paloma Valencia's 19.8%—and GAD3's 38% top spot amid a fragmented field. Recent Alianza Verde endorsement on April 29 bolsters Pacto Histórico's momentum from March parliamentary gains, signaling left-wing consolidation toward an outright majority. While exceeding 50% remains tight, traders price in low upset risk; realistic challenges include right-wing vote unification, Cauca security escalations curbing turnout, or scandals before election day.
