Miguel Uribe Turbay was becoming a well-known figure in Colombian political circles. At the age of 39, he had already been a senator, had made a name for himself as a vocal critic of President Gustavo Petro, and was gearing up for a presidential run in 2026.
As the grandson of former President Julio César Turbay who served from 1978 to 1982, Miguel was born into a political dynasty. He studied law at the University of Los Andes and later obtained a master's degree in public administration from Harvard in 2022.
