Fragmentation of FARC successor groups competing for control of illicit economies undermines state authority in remote regions. Electoral timing suggests potential attempts to influence security narratives before voting. Regional criminal organizations consolidating power vacuums left by peace agreement implementation failures.

Similar to 2016-2018 post-FARC peace agreement period when dissident factions proliferated and competed violently for territorial control, threatening peace process credibility.

Increased security concerns may reduce consumer confidence, discourage travel and commerce in affected regions, raise insurance and security costs for businesses and households, and create supply chain disruptions affecting prices for goods and services.

Government may increase military/security spending, implement stricter regulations on mining and drug trafficking, strengthen international cooperation on security, and potentially delay economic reforms if political instability increases post-election.
