Colombian right-winger Abelardo de la Espriella is expected to win the presidential election and defeat leftist Iván Cepeda, an ally of outgoing President Gustavo Petro. This emerges from the count of 90% of the votes. According to the published data, de la Espriella is receiving support from 50.1% of the votes, while his rival Cepeda received 48.3% of the votes. De la Espriella, who holds pro-Israel positions, advocates for advancing a military and strategic alliance with the U.S. and Israel, after years of anti-Israel policy under Petro.
