BUENOS AIRES (CN) — More than 40 million Colombians are registered to vote this Sunday in the country’s presidential elections, a first round that comes amid a highly polarized political scenario. If no candidate gains more than 50%, the top two finishers will face off in a June 21 runoff.
With more than a dozen candidates on the ballot, three contenders have emerged as the dominant forces in the race: leftist Iván Cepeda, the candidate of President Gustavo Petro’s Historic Pact coalition; Paloma Valencia, a conservative senator and political ally of former President Álvaro Uribe Vélez; and right-wing outsider Abelardo de la Espriella.
