- Trailing candidate in Colombia's election questions results in first round of voting
Iván Cepeda, an ally of Colombian President Gustavo Petro, questioned the results of the first round of Colombia's presidential election after trailing behind tough-on-crime candidate Aberaldo de la Espriella. Cepeda and de la Espriella, who received 41% and 44% of votes respectively, will face a runoff in June. Both Cepeda and Petro claimed without evidence that the election results were manipulated by foreign actors.
