Colombia's June 21 presidential runoff is shaping up as a contest between a consolidated right wing and a left struggling with internal divisions. Far-right candidate Abelardo de la Espriella — a criminal lawyer with no prior electoral experience — leads with 43.74% from the May 31 first round against leftist Senator Iván Cepeda's 40.90%, and has since secured the backing of former President Álvaro Uribe, rival right-wing figures, and US President Donald Trump. Meanwhile, Cepeda's Historic Pact (Colombia's ruling left-wing coalition) has been undermined by a public rift with incumbent President Gustavo Petro, who alleged electoral fraud on the night of the first round while Cepeda accepted the results — tensions that have consumed precious days in a campaign of barely three weeks.
