Colombia’s President-elect Abelardo de la Espriella has suspended the transition process with incumbent President Gustavo Petro, accusing him of a coup attempt to stay in power, following Petro’s refusal to recognize recent election results.
President Petro stated Monday he would not recognize de la Espriella’s June 21 run-off victory against his coalition's candidate, Senator Iván Cepeda, alleging fraud without providing evidence.
