A right-wing millionaire lawyer and a leftist philosopher-turned-senator have made it through to a June 21 runoff to see who will be Colombia's next president.
'The Tiger' -Abelardo de la Espriella, 47, is a millionaire lawyer and businessman who said he entered politics to prevent Colombia from being "destroyed" by the left.
He holds US President Donald Trump, Argentina's Javier Milei and El Salvador's Nayib Bukele in high esteem.
De la Espriella proposes a military alliance with the United States and Israel and the construction of mega-prisons to combat drug cartels in Colombia.
On the other hand, Ivan Cepeda, 63, a leftist icon, has previously lived in exile and advocated for armed conflict victims.
He played a key role in the historic 2016 peace accord, which led to the disarmament of the rebel army FARC.
