Colombia's presidential candidate from the ruling party Pacto Historico, Ivan Cepeda (C), speaks next to his vice-presidential formula Aida Quilcue (L) after the first exit poll results of the presidential election at the Tequendama Hotel in Bogota on May 31, 2026. Colombia's presidential election appeared headed for a runoff between leftist Ivan Cepeda and hard-right Abelardo de la Espriella on May 31, presenting voters with a stark choice between peace talks and a militarized crackdown.
