Colombia Holds Tight Presidential Runoff Between Progressive and Outsider

BOGOTA, Colombia — Voters across Colombia cast their ballots Sunday in a tightly contested presidential runoff, with two very different candidates vying for the nation’s highest office.

On one side is Sen. Iván Cepeda, representing the progressive wing of Colombian politics. On the other is Abelardo de la Espriella, a business owner running as a conservative outsider. The two emerged from an earlier round of voting to face off in this decisive contest.
