June 2 (UPI) -- Colombian President Gustavo Petro reiterated allegations Tuesday of possible electoral fraud in the first round of the country's presidential election, claiming irregularities in the voter registry and vote-counting systems ahead of the June 21 runoff.
In a message posted on X, Petro said he was presenting the "verified basis of possible fraud" and claimed he could submit evidence to the relevant authorities.
Petro said he has evidence of software modifications that allegedly introduced hundreds of thousands of voter identification records that were not properly registered and altered voting tables.
Petro contended that last-minute technical changes to systems operated by Colombia's National Civil Registry, known as the Registraduria Nacional, resulted in irregularities, including an increase of 885,409 voter identification records in the electoral roll and the appearance of 1,493 additional voting tables that he claimed were not authorized.
