Colombia’s Presidential Race Deadlocked Between Left and Right

Colombia’s two top presidential candidates — conservative lawyer Abelardo de la Espriella and leftist senator Iván Cepeda — are statistically tied in the latest poll ahead of Election Day on May 31.

De la Espriella has 32.1% support to Cepeda’s 31.4% in the AtlasIntel poll for Semana magazine. Former Antioquia governor Sergio Fajardo is trailing at 7.6%. The results exclude undecided voters and those who said they wouldn’t vote.
