Sources: 11. Developments: 2. The Colombian Council of State has issued several rulings upholding the electoral validity of representatives elected to the Chamber of Representatives for the 2026-2030 term. In September 2026, the Council denied a lawsuit seeking to nullify the election of José Luis Bohórquez for Boyacá. Bohórquez, who received approximately 94,000 votes, stated that the legal challenge was part of a recurring pattern by political opponents to overturn his seat. In October 2026, the Council dismissed further challenges regarding legal incompatibilities for two other representatives. It upheld the election of Elizabeth Sabina Molina Campo for Magdalena, ruling that previous municipal contracts did not constitute grounds for invalidation. Additionally, the Council maintained the seat of Lucy Mireya Bravo Obando for Huila, determining that her husband’s role at the Comptroller General of the Republic did not constitute an exercise of civil authority that would trigger constitutional disqualification. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-02: Colombia Council of State upholds two congressional elections Colombia's Council of State has upheld the elections of Elizabeth Molina (Magdalena) and Lucy Mireya Bravo (Huila) for the 2026-2030 term, rejecting claims of legal incompatibilities. 7 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/colombia-council-of-state-upholds-two-congressional-elections ### 2026-09-11: Council of State upholds José Luis Bohórquez's election Colombia's Council of State rejected a legal challenge to nullify the election of Representative José Luis Bohórquez for Boyacá, upholding his seat in the House of Representatives. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/council-of-state-upholds-jos-luis-bohrquezs-election --- Cite as: Colombian Council of State electoral rulings.
