List of political parties in Colombia


This article lists notable political parties in Colombia. Colombia historically maintained a two-party system dominated by the Colombian Liberal Party and Colombian Conservative Party, resulting in considerable difficulty for anybody to achieve major electoral success under the banner of any other party. In the current day, it is a multi-party system, with every party that gets more than 3% of the valid votes in each of the two chambers of Congress getting legal recognition. Some special cases such as parties of minority groups are also able to attain legal status even if they fail to reach this requirement.
