In Colombia, the presidential election is headed to a contentious runoff, after voters failed to elect a president outright during Sunday’s elections. The runoff will pit the right-wing front-runner Iván Duque against the left-wing former mayor of Bogotá, Gustavo Petro. The election is expected to determine the future of Colombia’s historic 2016 peace deal with FARC rebels. While Gustavo Petro, a former guerrilla, supports the peace agreement, Iván Duque has vowed to roll back key parts of the deal, including reversing the amnesty for former rebels.
