Who is this?
Iván Cepeda Castro (born October 24, 1962) is a Colombian left-wing politician, human rights activist and philosopher. He is a prominent political leader on the Colombian left and the movement for historical memory, notably through the creation of the Manuel Cepeda Vargas Foundation, in tribute to his father, who was assassinated in 1994. Cepeda has worked to promote the memory of Patriotic Union members killed by the Colombian state since 1984, regarded by institutions such as the National Center for Historical Memory as victims of a political genocide. Moreover, his stance is centered on the defense of human rights and peace processes. He has lived in exile on several occasions. A member of the Historic Pact party, he has served as a Senator since 2014 and was previously a member of the Chamber of Representatives (2010–2014). He is the party's official nominee for the 2026 presidential election.
