To the rhythm of “La Bilirrubina”, by Juan Luis Guerra, Colombian presidential candidate Abelardo de la Espriella went viral on social media after appearing dancing merengue alongside his wife, Ana Lucía Pineda.

While some users highlighted the spontaneity of the 47-year-old lawyer and the affection he showed alongside his wife, others were surprised to see him in such a different facet from the serious image he usually projects during the presidential campaign.

What seemed like a simple couple’s dance ended up becoming one of the most talked-about videos of the moment, showing that even presidential candidates can win over social media with a few merengue steps. 😅🔥
