Abelardo de la Espriella wins preliminary count in Colombian presidential runoff.
Far-right candidate Abelardo de la Espriella won 49.65-49.7% of the vote in Colombia's presidential runoff on June 21, 2026, against leftist Iván Cepeda's 48.7-48.8%, with over 99% of ballots counted. Cepeda and outgoing President Gustavo Petro declined to concede, citing the need for the official tally and challenging results at over 30,000 polling stations. De la Espriella claimed victory and received congratulatory calls from US President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
