The scandalous number of candidates for Mayor of Cali will not reach 35 until election day; towards the middle of the year there will be a purge process resulting from agreements and processes such as consultations and formation of coalitions…
Later, the closure of registrations -on July 29- will be a new filter that only those who have the endorsement of a political party and those who have gathered valid signatures and have the resources to pay for the policy that is required of them will pass through. to independent candidates.

“Much can continue to be done for the department, but much more can be done for Cali and its people. It can perfectly contribute to the election of a future governor who aligns with his thinking and that of a majority coalition that he commands, achieving the victory to route the destinies of Cali and the department along the path that we have deserved for a long time, ”wrote José Renan Trujillo.
With the proposal, the feeling remained in the air that former Senator Trujillo, who has not run as a candidate, will not finally do so…

Arango asked Ruiz if, in the event that his campaign doesn’t get off the ground, he would support any of the other candidates, to which he replied:
