## Recent evidence

- [confirms] Colombia's outgoing president repeats fraud claims days before handing power to Abelardo de la Espriella (2026-08-04): Gustavo Petro repeated claims that programmers altered tally sheets after transmission and said he will not attend Friday's inauguration of Abelardo de la Espriella, with electoral authorities and international observers rejecting the allegation.
