Colombia had historically maintained a two-party system, which means that there were two dominant political parties, resulting in considerable difficulty for anybody to achieve major electoral success under the banner of any other party. Dissidents from the two main parties also had chances to win elections. Nowadays it is a multi-party system with three main parties.

Major Parties:

• Social Party of National Unity (Liberal conservatism, Uribism)
• Colombian Conservative Party (Conservatism)
• Colombian Liberal Party (Social democracy, Social Liberalism)

Other Parties:

• National Integration Party (Neoliberalism)
• Radical Change Party (Conservative liberalism, Centrism)
• Alternative Democratic Pole (Democratic socialism)
• Colombian Green Party (Centrism, Green Politics)
• Mira Movement (Centrism)

Minor Parties:

• Indigenous Authorities of Colombia (Far-left)
