Danilo Rojas elected JEP president amid congressional budget cut

Danilo Rojas was elected president of Colombia's Special Jurisdiction for Peace (JEP) with 23 votes, succeeding Alejandro Ramelli and serving until 2028. His term begins as Congress approved a $181,400 million (COP) cut to the JEP's 2027 budget, potentially constraining transitional justice operations. The development signals political friction over peace-process institutions.
