Gustavo Petro lost yet another key member of his team yesterday as Fernando Rey, head of the Transmilenio, the city's public transport system, joined the long list of politicians to desert the Mayor of Bogotá just seven months into his four year term.
Rumours are circulating that the Progressives, Petro's political party, are making succession plans, actively seeking an alternative to their faltering leader.
As Petro recovers at home following a second operation in as many months on a serious brain injury, and as the Mayor's closest allies one by one jump ship, the nation is beginning to wonder whether anyone is governing Bogotá.
