El presente artículo analiza, de manera exploratoria, la relación de mutua causalidad entre el comportamiento electoral y la simpatía partidista de los ciudadanos bogotanos como proxy de su identidad partidista. Específicamente, se plantea cómo la simpatía partidista incide en la decisión de voto de los ciudadanos, y cómo dicha decisión asimismo afecta su simpatía por un partido político. El análisis desarrollado permite concluir que en sistemas políticos con partidos poco disciplinados, el voto programático no es decisivo en los comicios, por lo que es
más factible encontrar una mayor fuerza de asociación entre la decisión de voto y la simpatía partidista después de las elecciones, que viceversa.
This article presents an exploratory analysis of the relationship of mutual causality between electoral behaviour and party preference among the citizens of Bogota as a proxy for partisan identity. Specifically, it shows how party preference affects the voting decision of citizens, as well as how said decision also
affects their preference for a particular political party. The analysis developed makes it possible to conclude that in political systems where political parties have little discipline, programmatic voting is not decisive in elections, which is why
one is more likely to find a stronger connection between voting decision and party preference than vice versa.
