Colombia Elects Right-Wing Populist de la Espriella as President

Abelardo de la Espriella won Colombia's presidential election, according to preliminary results, marking a rightward shift in Latin America alongside Peru. Incumbent President Petro questioned the runoff vote and compared the process to Peru's, while also accusing Israel of stealing the presidency. Donald Trump praised de la Espriella, calling him a 'great president,' and Belarus's Lukashenko sent congratulations. The socialist opponent has launched a legal challenge to the outcome.
