Colombia divided after razor-thin presidential election result

Colombia has emerged from one of the closest presidential elections in its history, revealing deep divisions over the country's political future. Far-right candidate Abelardo de la Espria holds a narrow lead over leftist rival Ivana, with less than one percentage point separating the two contenders. While de la Espria has pledged major political and economic changes, his opponent has stopped short of conceding and says thousands of complaints have been submitted for review by electoral authorities. The result has highlighted competing visions for Colombia, with supporters and critics expressing concerns over security, democratic institutions, and social policies. Even if confirmed as the winner, de la Espria is expected to face a divided Congress and a strong opposition, raising questions about his ability to implement his agenda in a politically polarised country.
