Who is Sergio Fajardo?
Sergio Fajardo Valderrama, a mathematician from The University of the Andes turned politician, was the mayor of Medellín from 2003 to 2007 as an independent and is the current governor of Antioquia. Fajardo was granted a Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin–Madison.
After he left the mayoralty, he briefly joined a national radio station as a commentator, which raised his profile. The teacher-turned-politician recently figured highly in a poll of public figures, but he is neither aligned nor opposed to Álvaro Uribe.
Fajardo ran for vice president in the 2010 election, together with the presidential candidate Antanas Mockus.
