“The only rule that is today is that the candidates themselves will agree, we will look for the mechanisms so that we can find a single candidate. The decision of the party to have a single candidate, be united and advance in what we believe will be a very important political contest,” he said. “I am convinced that the game is more served today to have five candidates traveling throughout Colombia, campaigning, than to have only one subject to all attacks,” he added.
“I think it will be in December or in the last quarter of the year, as we have always done. The problem of the surveys is that they have generated in the party disbelief, because one felt that one thing was going to happen and ended it ended up passing another and then there has been a lot of discussion, ”he explained.
