Earlier in the campaign he was a candidate for the Liberal Renewal Movement, but had to leave it because of the firm opposition of Luis Carlos Galán, whose presidential campaign was supported by the Liberal Renewal Movement.
Tidligere i kampagnen var han kandidat til for den Liberale fornyelsesbevægelse, men måtte forlade den på grund af Luis Carlos Galáns hårde modstand, hvis præsidentkampagne blev støttet af netop den Liberale fornyelsesbevægelse.
