Trump-backed de la Espriella holds razor-thin lead in Colombia's election as rival challenges vote

Abelardo de la Espriella, a Trump-backed political outsider, holds a narrow lead in Colombia's presidential election with 49.7% of votes, while his rival Iván Cepeda, an ally of outgoing President Gustavo Petro, earned 48.7%. Cepeda has challenged results from over 30,000 voting stations, and Petro also vowed to contest the outcome. De la Espriella's policies focus on a tough-on-crime approach, including drug trafficking and prison expansion.
