Former Bogota mayor Enrique Peñalosa and former President Alvaro Uribe met Friday, officializing Uribe's support for Peñalosa, who in recent polls showed a comfortable lead in his run to become the next mayor of Colombia's capital.

Uribe has been expressing his support for the former Bogota mayor on several occasions, but before Friday had not personally sat down with Peñalosa.

In the meeting, the two politicians reportedly talked about strategies to assure that Peñalosa wins the October elections.

Uribe told reporters that Peñalosa is "the most prepared person in the world" who deserves a second mandate.
