Colombia Presidential Election Runoff

Colombia Presidential Election Runoff

Colombians are heading to the polls in a high-stakes presidential election that will determine the nation's response to spiraling violence by drug-running guerrillas.

The choice is between a left-wing agenda and a return to a more conservative approach.

The first round saw a surprise result, with right-wing candidate Abelardo de la Espriella and leftist Ivรกn Cepeda advancing to a polarized runoff.

This election is crucial for Colombia's future, as it grapples with deep political divisions and the ongoing challenge of drug trafficking.
