Last update: 11 hours agoColombia Election Shock: Right-wing outsider Abelardo de la Espriella (“El Tigre”) topped Sunday’s first round with about 43.7% of the vote, beating leftist senator Iván Cepeda (about 40.9%), setting up a June 21 runoff after neither reached 50%. Petro Pushback: President Gustavo Petro rejected the preliminary results, alleging irregularities tied to voter-roll software, while Cepeda also questioned “atypical” voting patterns—raising the stakes for a tense, polarized transition.

World Cup Prep in El Salvador’s Orbit: South Korea’s Cho Yu-min is ruled out of the World Cup after a foot injury in a 5-0 friendly; Korea still has a friendly vs El Salvador on Wednesday.
