Right-wing millionaire lawyer Abelardo de la Espriella elected Colombia's president
Forty-seven-year-old hardliner and millionaire lawyer Abelardo de la Espriella won Colombia's presidential election on Sunday, just four years after the country elected left-winger Gustavo Petro as its first ever left-wing president. De la Espriella secured a majority vote and received backing from right-wing figures in the United States. His outsider status raises questions about his ability to push through his agenda once in office.
