The leftist Historical Pact coalition increased its votes in Sunday's Senate elections in Colombia by nearly 400,000 following a scrutiny after alleging fraud in the counting.
The coalition led by Gustavo Petro had objected to the results, arguing that thousands of their votes were not entered into the system deliberately.
National Registrar Alexander Vega said 97% of the votes had been counted, and that the review was ongoing for the remaining 3%.
Emphasizing that there were mistakes while filling out the registration forms, Vega said he did not find the fraud allegations true.
