Who was Santos' main opponent in the 2010 presidential election?

  • Álvaro Uribe Vélez

  • Andrés Pastrana Arango

  • Óscar Iván Zuluaga

  • None of the above

Answer

None of the above is the answer because Santos ran unopposed in the 2010 presidential election. This was due to the fact that the Colombian constitution requires that a presidential candidate must receive at least 50% of the vote in order to win outright, and no other candidate received enough votes to challenge Santos. As a result, Santos was declared the winner of the election without a runoff vote.
