BOGOTA (Reuters) – Colombian Senator Miguel Uribe, who has been hospitalized since he was shot in the head earlier this month during a campaign event, will undergo another surgery, at least his fourth, his wife said on social media on Monday.

Uribe, 39, a potential presidential candidate from the right-wing opposition, was shot in Bogota on June 7 during a rally. He has undergone at least three other surgeries, including an emergency one for a brain bleed, and has remained in critical condition.

“I will be waiting for you to come out of your procedure with the certainty that faith in God gives me, that it will be another small step to us holding hands again,” Maria Claudia Tarazona said on Instagram, accompanied by a photo of her husband and their young son.
