Former Colombian president Alvaro Uribe’s party charged Wednesday that its showing in Sunday’s legislative elections was affected by what it said were serious irregularities in the vote count. Uribe’s opposition Democratic Center party said it had evidence that 250,000 votes in its favor were not counted, “which would substantially change the election results and the composition of the Congress.”
The conservative party won 19 of 102 Senate seats, making it the second force in Congress after a coalition that supports President Juan Manuel Santos.
It said it would present the evidence to election authorities and an observer mission from the Organization of American States.
