Colombia’s elephant-costumed anti-corruption activist sworn in as senator
- When 102 senators were sworn in for Colombia’s latest parliamentary session, they included 32 women, 69 men – and one cartoon elephant.
- He had some difficulty making his way down the narrow central aisle of Congress’s ceremonial chamber, weaving past fellow senators in sharply tailored suits and dresses, before taking the oath in his pot-bellied white plush costume.
- Blending in was never an option for the new senator, who ran almost his entire campaign without revealing his identity.
