Colombia's Tough Choice in Runoff

Colombia's Tough Choice in Runoff

Published 4 days, 18 hours ago
Description

Colombia’s presidential race heads to a runoff as “The Tiger,” Abelardo de la Espriella, surges past the 43% mark with a tough-on-crime, Trump-style platform, narrowly missing the 50% needed to win outright. He’ll face progressive senator Iván Cepeda, who trails behind but still holds strong support — and could be riding a wave of voters who shifted from centrist Paloma Valencia. The winner will steer Colombia toward either intensified peace efforts or a hardline crackdown on crime, marking a dramatic pivot away from traditional conservatism and toward populist, security-first politics.
