Colombian senator and presidential hopeful Miguel Uribe has died, weeks after being shot during a campaign rally in Bogota, Al Jazeera reported.

The 39-year-old right-wing opposition figure, seen as a potential candidate for the 2026 election, was attacked on June 7 and underwent multiple surgeries before succumbing to his injuries. His wife, Maria Claudia Tarazona, paid tribute to him in an emotional message, vowing to care for their children.

Authorities arrested a 15-year-old boy at the scene with a handgun. He has pleaded not guilty to attempted murder charges, according to Al Jazeera.
