This article lists notablepolitical parties inColombia. Colombia historically maintained atwo-party system dominated by theColombian Liberal Party andColombian Conservative Party, resulting in considerable difficulty for anybody to achieve major electoral success under the banner of any other party. In the current day,[clarification needed] it is amulti-party system, with every party that gets more than 3% of the valid votes in each of the two chambers ofCongress getting legal recognition. Some special cases such as parties of minority groups are also able to attain legal status even if they fail to reach this requirement.
In theParliamentary election of 2022, the following parties got the minimum required number of votes for legal recognition (3% of valid votes).
