Colombia heads to a presidential runoff between leftist Ivan Cepeda and far-right lawyer Abelardo de la Espriella after a first round where Cepeda trailed de la Espriella despite polls showing him as frontrunner.

The race comes amid persistent violence, rising homicides and extortion a decade after the FARC peace deal, with more than 41 million voters eligible.
