Una Colombia dividida elige a su nuevo presidente entre De la Espriella y Cepeda: ¿qué está en juego?
De la Espriella led the first round with 43.7%, while Cepeda seeks to rally voters around a social agenda and peace talks.
- On Sunday, Colombia holds a runoff election between opposition lawyer Espriella, who led the first round with 43.7%, and Senator Cepeda, representing President Gustavo Petro's progressive coalition.
- Analyst Karol Sol from Universidad del Norte describes two conflicting visions: Cepeda's social and pacifist approach to peace versus Espriella's focus on security and order against armed criminal groups.
- The Pacto Hist government reduced poverty to 28% in 2025, the country's lowest on record, yet faces criticism over inflation at 5.6% and growth of 2.4% amid fiscal deficits.
- Trump broke his silence to offer Espriella "respaldo completo y total," targeting business sectors in Estados Unidos rather than the general electorate, analysts say.
- Analyst Sol identifies a class divide, with ascending sectors feeling burdened by taxes; the election outcome will determine the future of the Pacto Hist progressive project.
