Through a triune, the senator of the Democratic Center, Paloma Valencia, on her official Twitter account denounced an alleged irregularity in the electoral ballots that took place in the Coliseum Mayor in Manizales.
The senator shared a video showing what witnesses would be saying that they would not sign the ballot, since allegedly the data they were entering the Registrar's system would not correspond to those previously reflected in the same system.
“This video they send from Manizales seems very disturbing to me. How did they put some data on the computer and the software reflected others?” senator Valencia tribed.
In the video, the apparent official can be seen saying: “Then what we are going to do is draw up a record in which we are going to report this to the National Electoral Council, the Registrar's Office and the Attorney General's Office of the Nation.”
The Witness then asks the Officer if they will give them a copy of what the Officer responds that he does. The witness mentions: “Or they will end the scrutiny but with the exception that...” .
To which the Official replied: “We are going to do the scrutiny, and in the end I am not going to sign it, for example, in the sense that I will not attest that what is embodied there corresponds to reality. Because it is not so! I'm just going to say, it's not signed because the data we enter into the system, the system doesn't reflect it, it yields different figures.”
On this complaint filed by the senator of the Democratic Center, neither the National Registrar or the delegated registrars for the department of Caldas have spoken.
But this is not the only pulla published in Valencia. Senator Uribista has repeatedly questioned the counts of votes being made at the national level, which have ended up giving more seats to the Historical Pact and taking away traditional political movements.
“The management of the Registry has been shameful. It is as if they had dismantled the entire existing system and started again,” Valencia said in his trill. In context, the Registrar's Office presented last Friday a first result of the counting of votes to the Senate: Historical Pact won 3 additional seats to the 16 it already had and Centro Democrático lost one.
At the end of the counting of votes by the National Registry of Civil Status, the parties and coalitions that won the most seats were known, as well as those that also lost them.
In fact, it is the Historical Pact, the Liberal Party and the New Liberalism that are the only political alliances that regained votes. The first had close to 390,152 additional votes, the latter 4,450 and the third, led in the list presented by Mábel Lara, reached 22,948 additional votes; however, they were not enough to pass the threshold necessary to reach the Senate of the Republic.
In contrast, this is how the other teams and coalitions lost votes in this last ballot: Conservative 12,345 votes; Centro Esperanza 50,964; Democratic Center 54,964; Radical Change 24,372; U 12,036 party; Mira and Colombia Justa Libres 26,629; Citizen Force 22,948 (they were not enough to put senators either) and Estamos Listas 104, that they won't make it to the upper house either.
For his part, Registrar Alexander Vega referred to the nearly 400,000 votes that appeared to Gustavo Petro on his list to the Senate and assured that “if there were any malice on the part of some juries, those proceedings will be brought to the attention of the Prosecutor's Office,” he said, in turn defending those who carried out the counts and the work. electoral.
“We must highlight the work of the judges of the Republic, who have done the general recount of votes at all tables in Colombia,” said Vega Rocha. This Monday, the final results of the count are expected to be known.
