Pro-Trump conservative de la Espriella tops Colombian first-round vote as Petro questions results

In Colombia's presidential election, pro-Trump conservative Abelardo de la Espriella surprisingly led the first round, setting up a contentious runoff. President Gustavo Petro, a leftist, has raised concerns about the preliminary results, suggesting potential irregularities. De la Espriella's strong showing reflects a significant political shift and could reshape Colombia's political landscape, especially if he wins the runoff on June 21. This outcome also highlights the deep divisions within the country's political sphere.
