Socialist candidate Gustavo Petro has overtaken Enrique Peñalosa in the polls leading up to the Bogota mayoral elections in October, reported weekly Semana Sunday.

In a previous poll, held by a different pollster, Peñalosa had a comfortable 24.8% versus 12.7% lead over Petro.

However, according to Semana's poll, Petro is leading the race with 15.4% of the interviewees responding they would vote for the socialist and 14.6% for the former mayor who only Saturday formalized his alliance with former President Alvaro Uribe.

Third favorite is Cambio Radical candidate Carlos F. Galan, the son of Luis Carlos Galán, a presidential candidate who was murdered by hitmen of drug lord Pablo Escobar in 1989.
