Colombia elected right-wing Abelardo de la Espriella president after he beat Iván Cepeda in the second round, campaigning on bringing blockchain to public contracting. According to BeInCrypto, his “Blockchain 2030” plan would record public procurement in nationwide, traceable and auditable systems and pair blockchain with AI to improve DIAN identification, security and tax collection.

De la Espriella was backed by Donald Trump and aligns with Nayib Bukele and Daniel Noboa, but the platform does not include adopting Bitcoin as legal tender or creating a state BTC reserve.
