Colombia's CNE strips Comunes party legal status for failing vote threshold

Colombia's National Electoral Council revoked the legal status of Comunes, the political party formed by former FARC guerrillas, for failing to meet the electoral threshold. This marks a significant setback for the peace process, as the party was created under the 2016 peace agreement to ensure former combatants' political representation. The decision could undermine the political integration pillar of the accord and may face legal challenges.
