AGP Executive Report
Last update: 11 hours agoColombia Election Runoff: Preliminary results from the National Civil Registry show right-wing outsider Abelardo de la Espriella leading with about 43.6–43.7% and Iván Cepeda (Petro’s Historic Pact) close behind at about 41.1–40.9%, sending both to a June 21 runoff (winner takes office Aug. 7). Electoral Dispute: President Gustavo Petro rejected the preliminary “pre-count,” alleging software changes and claiming hundreds of thousands of extra IDs were added; Cepeda also raised concerns and demanded verification before accepting the outcome. Campaign Stakes: The runoff is framed as a choice between continuing Petro’s “total peace” approach and shifting toward a tougher security line and economic reforms. Regional Trade: Ecuador lifted a 100% tariff on Colombian goods starting June 1 after talks involving de la Espriella, ending a months-long trade dispute. Sports (Venezuela, but regional): Guacharas de Monagas won the first Women’s Professional Volleyball League title, beating Sport Caracas Voley 3-0.
