The administration of President-elect President Abelardo de la Espriella in Colombia has begun forming its government and shifting national security policies.

During this period, former Senator María Fernanda Cabal announced her intention to run for the presidency in 2030, noting she would not join the cabinet to maintain her own political agenda.
