COLOMBIA: Centre-left parties in anti-Uribe coalition
As had been expected, the two biggest left-of-centre parties, Polo Democrático Independiente (PDI) and Alternativa Democrática (AD), last week announced that they will merge to contest next year's legislative and presidential elections, scheduled for March and May respectively. The announcement came only six days after President Alvaro Uribe formally announced that he will be seeking
reelection.
