The Historic Pact for Colombia (Spanish: Pacto Histórico por Colombia, PHxC) is a political and electoral coalition in Colombia composed of political parties and social movements with ideologies ranging from the centre-left,[8][9] left-wing,[10] and far-left.[11] It is the current Government Coalition in Colombia after the 2022 presidential elections.

This was launched on 11 February 2021 through a press conference where political leaders of the country participated, including Gustavo Petro, Alexander López, Iván Cepeda, María José Pizarro, Roy Barreras, Clara López, Aída Avella, Armando Benedetti, Jorge Rojas Rodríguez, Iván Guarín, and Martha Peralta. In September 2021 Agmeth Escaf, Luis Fernando Velasco, and Piedad Córdoba were added to the coalition.[12] The coalition's presidential nominee, Gustavo Petro, advanced to the second round and defeated Rodolfo Hernández Suárez.[13][14]
