VOICED : Colombia elegirá presidente entre el izquierdista Petro y Hernández, un outsider millonario

Colombians will vote on June 19 to elect a new president. Gustavo Petro, a leftist ex-guerrilla, won the first round with over 40% of the votes but faces a runoff. His coalition, the Historical Pact, achieved historic results in the legislative elections. Rodolfo Hernández, a wealthy outsider, surprised by surpassing Federico Gutiérrez with 28% of the votes. Hernández, who focuses on anti-corruption, lacks a clear political affiliation and has limited support in Congress. The election marks a significant shift as traditional parties, especially the right, face an unprecedented defeat. The winner will succeed Iván Duque on August 7.
