COLOMBIA’S liberation movement Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia-People’s Army (Farc-Ep) former military commander Rodrigo Londono, known by his nom de guerre Timoleon Jimenez or Timochenko, hit the campaign trail at the weekend as his organisation’s presidential candidate.
He eschewed the traditional media-oriented campaign launch in a posh Bogota hotel in favour of addressing hundreds of supporters, many wearing shirts with the party’s rose logo, in a community centre car park in the impoverished district of Ciudad Bolivar in the south of the city.
Giant posters proclaiming “Timo president” surrounded the venue, as participants were greeted by confetti and a catchy new campaign song repeating the message: “Timo president. For the people.”
