Colombia's president-elect, Abelardo de la Espriella, has completed all eighteen posts in his cabinet four days before taking office, with a team that will combine technical profiles drawn from the traditional right with figures close to Christian movements and to positions aligned with Trumpism.
The inauguration will take place on Friday, August 7, at the Arena USC of the Santiago de Cali University, outside the capital, for the 2026-2030 term. The government program is called “Patria Milagro.” Vice President-elect José Manuel Restrepo, an economist who served as trade and finance minister under Iván Duque, heads the transition team working with Gustavo Petro's outgoing government.
