De la Espriella wins Colombia runoff
Abelardo de la Espriella has won Colombia’s presidential runoff, defeating leftwing senator Iván Cepeda with a narrow margin. His victory marks a shift to the right after four years of leftwing presidency and is associated with a broader regional trend of far-right candidates gaining power. De la Espriella has vowed to adopt an aggressive approach against criminal groups, including the promise to build maximum-security prisons and intensify military actions, with support from the United States. His win comes amid allegations of electoral irregularities by President Petro, who has called for further scrutiny of the vote count.
