Uribe Londoño requested to participate in the electoral process to replace his late son. The party has positioned him as the opposition candidate moving forward. The transition was publicly acknowledged by prominent figures, including former President Álvaro Uribe, who paid tribute to the late senator at the site of the attack, calling for an eternal flame in his memory.
