European Union observers reject Petro’s fraud claims, calling Colombia’s vote ‘transparent’

European Union observers dismissed President Gustavo Petro’s claims of election fraud in Colombia, stating the vote was transparent and orderly. The election results showed Abelardo de la Espriella and Iván Cepeda as top candidates, with a second round scheduled for June 21. Petro accused 800,000 voters of being illegally added to rolls, but the EU mission found no data inconsistencies in the vote count.
