Event Summary

Deyci Alejandra Omaña Ortiz, known as Amaranta Hank, a former adult film actress, was sworn in as a senator in Colombia on July 24, 2026. She represents the Colombia — Norte de Santander Department region as a member of the left-wing Colombia — Historic Pact coalition for the 2026-2030 term. Omaña secured the seat after the Colombia — Historic Pact won 22.72% of the Senate vote in March elections, gaining 25 seats.
