## Resource

Colombia’s first presidential election round shocked the nation as far-right lawyer and businessman Abelardo de la Espriella surged ahead with 44% of the vote, edging out left-wing senator Iván Cepeda. Espriella, who’s already got backing from center-right senator Paloma Valencia, is set to face Cepeda in a June 21 runoff — potentially replacing President Gustavo Petro. With his admiration for Trump, Milei, and Bukele, Espriella promises a hardline “iron fist” on crime, signaling a major rightward shift for Colombia — the latest South American nation to pivot right after Argentina and Ecuador.
