At Santander Park in Neiva, Ana Paola Agudelo, the sole MIRA party candidate in Huila for the Senate with number 2 on the ballot, concluded her electoral campaign surrounded by leaders and over 2,000 followers. During the event, she reiterated her political project's commitment to traditional values, family, and freedoms, noting that MIRA, founded 26 years ago, has shown honest politics is possible without corruption records.

Agudelo gave a positive assessment of her tour through the department, pointing to the connection with people despite not visiting all municipalities in person. “We are happy, happy because it is a very nice welcome here in Neiva... We see that people are very disconnected and want closeness,” she stated.

Among her legislative achievements, she highlighted initiatives such as minimum wage payment for youth in military service, issuance of military ID without fines for students, proposals on mental health, and support for micro-businesses through reduced public services and preferential credits. She identified main concerns in Huila as employment, security, and the health system crisis, pledging to address them in the Senate.

For the next period, she prioritized the caregivers project for dependent family members, SOAT reform with fairer tariffs and rewards for good driving behavior, and resolving the health crisis. “We have the great challenge of advancing that health system, which I believe is a commitment all Colombians must have,” she affirmed.

The candidate emphasized her experience as a responsible woman with accountability, highlighting female leadership in Congress and commitment to transparency to represent Huilenses.
