Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has publicly expressed his support for Colombian presidential candidate Abelardo De la Espriella ahead of the upcoming runoff election. Johnson stated he is “enthusiastic” about the political progress De la Espriella is making. The endorsement comes just two days before Colombians return to the polls to choose their next president. Details regarding the nature of Johnson’s support or how the endorsement was communicated were not immediately available. This backing could potentially influence undecided voters in the closely contested race. De la Espriella is competing against Gustavo Petro in the second round of the presidential election. The election is expected to be highly consequential for Colombia’s future political direction.
