Colombia’s Pro-Israel Conservative Leads Presidential Vote Count
Right-wing Colombian politician Abelardo de la Espriella is expected to win the presidential election, according to results from 90% of the votes counted. He is leading left-wing candidate Iván Cepeda, an ally of outgoing President Gustavo Petro.
The published tally gives de la Espriella 50.1% of the vote, compared with 48.3% for Cepeda. The margin suggests de la Espriella is on track to defeat the left after a close race.
De la Espriella is known for his pro-Israel positions. He advocates building a military and strategic alliance with the United States and Israel, reversing what the article describes as years of anti-Israel policy under Petro.
