Hard-right populist tops Colombia vote, faces leftist in runoff

Colombia's presidential election is headed to a runoff after voters delivered a sharply polarised first-round result on Sunday, setting up a contest between hard-right populist Abelardo de la Espriella and leftist senator Ivan Cepeda. The vote came at the end of Colombia's bloodiest campaign in more than a decade, with security and rising violence dominating the race.
