Colombians choose outsider over progressive
Colombians voted in a runoff election to choose their next president amid deep political division and rising violence related to armed groups and drug trafficking. The candidates, Abelardo de la Espriella and Iván Cepeda, campaigned with contrasting approaches to peace and security, with de la Espriella advocating a tough-on-crime strategy and Cepeda supporting continued negotiations with illegal armed groups. The election follows a resurgence of violence since a peace agreement with FARC, with high homicide and extortion rates, and reflects ongoing debates over how to achieve lasting peace and stability in Colombia.
