Colombia national registrar says final count in presidential runoff is nearly identical to initial count

The final official count matched the preliminary results almost exactly — differing by just 0.003%, which election officials hailed as unprecedented accuracy.
Right‑wing lawyer Abelardo De La Espriella narrowly beat leftist Ivan Cepeda after an extremely close vote (De La Espriella had about 49.6% in the initial count).
The outcome is another rightward swing in Latin America, with voters reportedly prioritizing crime and security issues.
