Summary
Colombia’s presidential race heads to a runoff as right-wing outsider Abelardo de la Espriella and leftist senator Ivan Cepeda battle it out, separated by just a few percentage points. De la Espriella, a first-time candidate, vows tough-on-crime policies and new prisons, echoing El Salvador’s approach, while Cepeda pushes for peace talks and social reforms like taxing the wealthy and expanding healthcare. With turnout under 50%, both contenders must energize voters ahead of June 21 — a showdown that could reshape Colombia’s future.
