AGP Executive Report
Last update: 12 hours agoColombia Election: Independent preliminary results show far-right lawyer Abelardo de la Espriella leading leftist Sen. Iván Cepeda in Sunday’s presidential runoff, 49.66% to 48.70% with about 99.9% of votes counted—an ultra-thin gap of roughly 250,000 ballots. Vote Scrutiny: Both Gustavo Petro and Cepeda say the count is not final and plan challenges to tens of thousands of polling stations (around 33,000), while De la Espriella has already claimed victory and urged supporters to protect the vote and avoid unrest. Security & Economy Stakes: The race is framed around fears of renewed conflict and a shift away from Petro’s agenda—De la Espriella promises a tougher crackdown and market-friendly changes, while Cepeda pledges to continue Petro-linked reforms and peace efforts. World Cup (Colombia): Colombia’s next Group K match is set for Tuesday/Wednesday vs. DR Congo’s group rivals, with Colombia aiming to clinch qualification after their opener win.
