Uribe, a 39-year-old conservative senator, was shot twice in the head and once in the leg by a 15-year-old suspected hitman while giving a speech on June 7.
After an emergency operation to stop internal bleeding early on Monday, doctors said his condition had worsened.
He was said to be suffering from “persistent cerebral edema and intercerebral bleeding that is difficult to control.”
“I have to tell you that he is fighting the most difficult battle we have had to date” she said outside the hospital.
Uribe, a member of the Democratic Center party of former right-wing president Alvaro Uribe (no relation), announced his intention to run in the May 2026 presidential election last October.
He is the son of Diana Turbay, a famed journalist who was killed after being kidnapped by Pablo Escobar’s Medellin Cartel, and grandson of Julio Cesar Turbay, who led Colombia from 1978 to 1982.
On Sunday thousands of Colombians marched in major cities to voice their anger at the attack and demand peace.
