In a shocking turn of events, Colombian presidential candidate Miguel Uribe Turbay has been rushed into emergency surgery following a severe acute intracerebral hemorrhage. The news broke early Monday morning, sending shockwaves through the political landscape and prompting urgent calls for prayers from his wife, María Claudia Tarazona.

Speaking from the Fundación Santa Fe in Bogotá, Tarazona revealed that Uribe’s condition had worsened dramatically after an initial surgery performed the previous day. “The next hours will be crucial for him,” she stated, urging all Colombians to unite in prayer during this critical time. The hospital confirmed that the situation remains grave, with the neurological prognosis still uncertain.

This alarming development comes just days before Uribe was expected to ramp up his campaign efforts as a leading contender for the presidency. The Fundación Santa Fe issued a statement at 9 AM, detailing the necessity of the urgent intervention after imaging tests revealed the severity of his condition. Hours earlier, the hospital had reported stable post-operative results from his first surgery, making the sudden deterioration even more distressing.

Colombians across the nation are rallying in support, with many expressing their hopes for a miraculous recovery. As the clock ticks, the political community and supporters alike hold their breath, waiting for updates on Uribe’s condition. The urgency of the situation cannot be overstated; as Tarazona implores the public for prayers, the nation stands united in hope for the recovery of a leader many believe could shape the future of Colombia.
