The electoral campaign will begin in approximately two months, on October 5, according to the calendar published by the Electoral Council. Political organizations will have a little more than two months to convince voters. To do so, in addition to an attractive political platform, they will need money.

The election dates are known, CEP members are on the ground where they are able to travel, and the government has announced that the entire public administration is in election mode. All that is missing is the restoration of a minimum level of security in the territories occupied by criminal groups for the country to decisively set its course toward elections following those of 2016.
