The director of the Electoral Observation Mission (MOE) has said the government will revise its figures over municipalities at risk in the coming elections after she met with the interior minister on Monday.
After meeting with German Vargas Lleras, the MOE’s Alejandra Barrios said, “He [Vargas Lleras] didn’t express disagreement with the map, including those regions that don’t appear on the government’s maps: Antioquia, Choco and Cauca, which to us appear to be at high risk but in the government’s records are not.”
She added the government was going to take important decisions including requesting electoral tribunals in areas at high risk. Barrios also said she would telephone candidates in high risk regions so they would inform their parties of the situation and the authorities could take action.
