Colombia’s conservatives want inspector general as next president

Colombia’s Conservative Party announced on Thursday that they would like to have the current inspector general as their nominee for the 2014 presidential elections.

Conservative Party Chairman Senator Jose Dario Salazar Cruz said that Inspector General Alejandro Ordoñez Maldonado was a “good candidate.”

“He’s a convincing conservative, very traditional with a lot of following… he would be a very authentic conservative, and to me it seems he has a very good name,” said Salazar to newspaper El Espectador.

Ordoñez, however, has expressed no intention for that aspiration as he says he is only dedicated to “imparting justice in an impartial and objective manner” from his position as inspector general.
