Colombia is holding a presidential runoff election on Sunday between right-wing candidate Abelardo de la Espriella and Ivan Cepeda, who supports the current left-wing government. The election outcome will significantly shape the country’s future direction, particularly regarding social and economic policies. This vote follows a first round that indicated a deeply divided electorate. A key concern is the escalating violence from armed groups across Colombia, which casts a shadow over the electoral process. FRANCE 24’s team in Bogota is providing live coverage as voters cast their ballots. The result will determine whether Colombia continues on its current path or undergoes a substantial policy shift.
