Colombia presidential vote heads to runoff as neither candidate secures majority

Colombia's presidential election is heading to a runoff as neither outsider Abelardo de la Espriella nor leftist Ivan Cepeda secured over 50% of the vote. Initial results show de la Espriella with a slight lead, but Cepeda and outgoing President Gustavo Petro have raised concerns about "atypical voting."
