Colombia's ELN rebels and FARC dissidents have declared separate ceasefires ahead of the presidential election on May 31, aiming to respect citizens' right to vote and ensure a peaceful electoral process.
The Central General Staff, a dissident faction of the FARC, announced a temporary ceasefire ahead of Colombia's presidential elections on May 31, suspending attacks against security forces from May 20 to June 10.
Armed groups, including FARC dissidents, have been influencing Colombia's presidential elections by expressing support for candidate Iván Cepeda, raising concerns about electoral integrity and the impact of armed groups on the political process.
