Conservative Abelardo de la Espriella Wins Colombia

Leftist candidate Ivan Cepeda conceded defeat in Colombia's presidential runoff to conservative outsider Abelardo de la Espriella, who was endorsed by Donald Trump.

The result signals a political shift to the right and carries implications for Amazon protection policies.

De la Espriella has already pledged to restore Colombia's relations with Israel and the United States, reversing the stance of outgoing President Gustavo Petro.

The far-right president-elect's victory marks a return to power for a more pro-Western, business-friendly government in Bogotá.
