Antioch It is considered the second key region in terms of voting in the country. In that order of ideas, the department already has the political chess set ready for the elections for the House of Representatives next March 13.
Figures from the Registry indicate that the department has 10 lists in which there are 146 candidateswithout counting the 15 lists of the Special Transitory Circumscriptions of Peace (Citrep).
Of the lists, it is known that at least seven are open, which means that the vote goes directly to the candidate, and two are closed, which would be those of the Common and Historical Pact parties, in which case, the vote is for the party and they are chosen in row order.
Of the 17 seats, 6 are currently from the Democratic Center, so it is expected that they will be consolidated as the stronghold of Uribism in the country. The head of this party is Hernán Darío Cadavid, followed by Óscar Dario Perez (seeking to repeat), Diana Lorena Murcia, Juan Esteban Mejía and Juan Eduardo Mejía.
Professor Juan Carlos Arenas, director of the Institute of Political Studies of the University of Antioquia, said that for these elections, not only the strength of each party must be taken into account, but also what other movements are doing.

The social movements that have been taking place in the last two years were taken advantage of by socially based sectors to form the collegiate bodies
“The social movements that have been taking place in the last two years have been used by sectors with a social base to form the collegiate bodies of some political parties, not only in Antioquia, but in the rest of the country, where there is a reconfiguration of the names of the candidates,” Arenas said.
Said situation, he clarified, could be counterproductive for the Democratic Center if this youthful disagreement reaches the polls, since the Center Left could be strengthened.
Precisely, in the so-called Historical Pact, the names of characters that became known during the protests stand out, such as Susana Gómez (known as Susana Boreal) and Jerson Hader Gonzalez (as Kanabico Objector).
“On the Democratic Center issue, there are many household names, although many chose to run for the Senate. In the case of the Chamber, there are Juan Espinal, Óscar Pérez, Luis Gallón and Margarita Restrepo, who are already known, but it will be necessary to see if Uribismo can achieve this time the majority in voting that it had in the last elections”, expressed the teacher.

The UdeA expert pointed out that the Democratic Center, a strong party in Antioquia, surprised with names for the Chamber that are not as well known in the territory.
“There are candidates who are, in some way, because of the strength of the party rather than by name. If that strength weakens, it is possible that it will not be possible to compensate for the work that each one has done in the regions,” Arenas added.
