Zuluaga Wins Centro Democratico Nomination for 2022 Vote

COLOMBIA
  • A U.K.-educated former Finance Minister who opposed Colombia's peace deal with Marxist guerrillas will run for president after winning the ruling party's nomination.
  • Oscar Ivan Zuluaga, 62, defeated four other candidates, according to a tweet by Nubia Stella Martinez, the National Director of President Ivan Duque's Centro Democratico Party. That means he'll probably be on ballot papers in the May 2022 election.
  • Zuluaga, who served as finance minister from 2007-2010, guided the economy through the aftermath of the 2008 global financial crisis without any economic contraction.
  • Zuluaga won the first round of the 2014 presidential election, but was defeated by Juan Manuel Santos in the runoff. (BBG)
