CRUZ MERCHAN, Camilo; ACUNA VILLARRAGA, Fabián y URIBE MENDOZA, Cristhian. FROM INTERNAL PRIMARIES TO INTER-PARTY PRIMARIES: TRANSFORMATIONS, COMPETITIVENESS, AND STRATEGIC USEFULNESS OF PARTICIPATORY MECHANISMS FOR THE SELECTION OF PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES IN COLOMBIA (1990-2022). anal.polit. [online]. 2023, vol.36, n.106, pp.265-290. Epub 10-Oct-2023. ISSN 0121-4705. https://doi.org/10.15446/anpol.v36n106.111078.
During the last three decades, the Colombian electoral system underwent significant transformations. One of the most important has been the adoption of internal and inter-party primaries as a mechanism to select candidates, especially for presidential elections. The article analyzes changes at the level of electoral rules and party practices of internal and inter-party primaries for the selection of presidential candidates in the Colombian political system between 1990 and 2022 based on data at the level of pre-candidacies, parties, and coalitions. This work starts with the question: “How has the use of primaries for the selection of presidential candidates in Colombia between 1990 and 2022 been transformed in terms of rules and practices?” The findings identify the existence of two distinct periods of regulation of the mechanisms and three periods of implementation in party practices, highlighting the transition from a party practice to a regulated mechanism, the expansion and decline of the use of the primary mechanism, and the subsequent emergence of inter-party primaries as an alternative mechanism for party coordination.
