The major winners were the Centro Democrático party and the Petismo movement, with each controlling important parts of the government and opposition. The Centro Democrático party gained two governorships and a state, while the Petismo movement made headway in several regions.

The video calls for greater transparency and accountability in the electoral process.

• 00:00:00 In this section, Ariel discusses the results of the 2018 and 2019 elections in Colombia. The first explicación Ariel uses is "Oasis in the Desert," explaining how progressive forces won in various cities, particularly in Bogotá, Cartagena, and Barranquilla. The second explicação Ariel uses is "Authoritarian Subnationalisms," where Ariel argues that the regional authoritarianism of conservative subnationalisms have been present in the country despite elections every four years. In this explicación, Ariel utilizes data in the case of Barranquilla, specifically the House of Chávez's retention of both the governorship and the city council seat with more than 60% of the vote, leaving Duque losing more than 300,000 votes. Finally, Ariel talks about the third and fourth explicación and how Uribe remains in power and Barrio wins in all alcaldías in the Cartagena region.
