Colombians emerging from the coronavirus pandemic will vote for their next president Sunday, choosing from six candidates who all promise various degrees of change amid rising inequality, inflation, violence and a discontent with the status quo.
The ballot includes former rebel Gustavo Petro, who could become Colombia's first leftist president Sunday if he can get the 50% of the votes needed to win in the first round. If no one gets more than half the votes a runoff between the two top vote-getters will be held.
