Colombians vote for president amid security fears and rival visions for peace

Colombians are voting on Sunday to choose a new president, with the election centring on sharply contrasting approaches to security and decades of armed conflict. Leftist candidate Iván Cepeda, a close ally of outgoing President Gustavo Petro, pledges to continue peace negotiations and expand social programmes, while far-right candidate Abelardo de la Espriella vows to end talks and pursue armed groups militarily. The vote comes a decade after a landmark peace deal with FARC rebels, whose dissident factions have since returned to arms alongside criminal organisations such as the Gulf Clan. The result is expected to have regional implications, particularly regarding Colombia's role in counter-narcotics efforts and its relationship with the United States.
