BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) — Political outsider Abelardo de la Espriella maintained a narrow lead as Colombia’s presidential runoff election count neared completion Sunday, following a campaign dominated by security concerns, political polarization and fears of renewed internal conflict.
De la Espriella, a lawyer and political newcomer who campaigned on a tough-on-crime platform and received the endorsement of U.S. President Donald Trump, faced progressive Sen. Iván Cepeda, an ally of outgoing President Gustavo Petro.
Election officials have not formally announced a winner.
