Imelda Daza

The online newspaper La Silla Vacía [es] included her in its list of 50 key figures for the success of the post-conflict period.

[1] On 1 November 2017, she was chosen to be Rodrigo Londoño's vice-presidential running mate, representing Commons, the political successor of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC).

Motivated by the speeches of Luis Carlos Galán, she became the first woman president of the Valledupar city council in 1983, commissioned by liberals and conservatives.

In July 1987, days after the assassination of her political partner José F. Ramírez, a wreath was placed in Daza's front yard, with an invitation to her own funeral.

[2] Invited by her friends, Daza returned to Valledupar on 25 June 2015 to present herself as a candidate for the governorship of Cesar, endorsed by the UP, and with the support of the Green Alliance, Alternative Democratic Pole, MAIS [es], Progressive Movement, and other sectors.

Her proposals included an expansion of the department's hospital network, as well as a greater allocation for education, economic and equitable management, and women's, gender, and sexual diversity budgets.

[7] On 24 November 2016, the FARC commander-in-chief, Rodrigo Londoño Echeverri, signed the Final Peace Agreement with President Juan Manuel Santos.
