TL;DR
- Four prominent Colombian parties – Liberal, Alianza Verde, La U, and Cambio Radical – do not have their own presidential candidates for the 2026 elections.

- The Partido de La U also lacks a candidate and is evaluating support options, with a leaning towards center-right figures but some openness to Roy Barreras.
- The continued indecision of these parties raises concerns about their political weight diminishing and becoming mere passengers in external coalitions.
