CNE Confirms Senate Composition for 2026-2030; Dispute Over Cámara Seat in Cundinamarca

The Consejo Nacional Electoral (CNE) has officially confirmed the composition of the Senate of the Republic for the 2026-2030 term, setting the stage for the new Congress to be installed on July 20. The Senate will consist of 108 seats, including two indigenous circumscription seats and one opposition seat under the Estatuto de la Oposición. However, a key discrepancy exists in the reported seat count for the largest bloc, Pacto Histórico: La República reports 27 seats while Infobae and El Colombiano report 25. The lower chamber, the Cámara de Representantes (181 seats), still has one disputed seat in Cundinamarca that the CNE must resolve.
