Colombians will decide their next president on June 19, 2022, with a choice between two candidates promising “change.” But what they mean by change is very, very different.
The two runoff contenders – one a left-wing senator and former guerrilla, the other a right-wing populist in the mold of Donald Trump – hold views on the country’s past, present and future that are poles apart. Whoever wins will replace Ivan Duque, an establishment conservative who has served as president since 2018.
