1986 Colombian presidential election

Presidential elections were held in Colombia on 25 May 1986. The result was a victory for Virgilio Barco Vargas of the Liberal Party, who received 58% of the vote.

Barco Vargas' campaign promised land reform and economic revitalization, including jobs and housing for the poor. One of the issues in the campaign was the ongoing negotiations with Colombian guerilla groups.

The elections took place shortly after the March 1986 parliamentary elections, in which Barco Vargas' Liberal Party won a majority of seats.
