Colombians head to the polls in a tense, decisive runoff

Colombians are voting in a pivotal presidential runoff between far-right political outsider Abelardo de la Espriella and leftist Senator Iván Cepeda of the ruling Pacto Historico. The election follows four years of Gustavo Petro’s left-wing presidency and centers on public frustration over security, economic performance, and political gridlock.
