Colombia held its first round of voting for president last Sunday (May 29th) which culled the field of contenders to two candidates: Gustavo Petro who everyone expected would go on to the second round and Rodolfo Hernández whose victory is quite shocking. The fact that Gustavo Petro emerged as the highest voted candidate is already a sort of political earthquake in Colombia. He is a leftist and he would be the first left-wing candidate to win an election in Colombia in close to a century if not longer. But, the fact that Hernández took second place means that voters have rejected Uribisimo, or the political project of Colombia’s most influential politician of the 21st century, right-wing strongman, Alvaro Uribe. To break all this down we're joined by Dr. Juan Albarracín of the Keough School of Global Affairs. Please rate and subscribe wherever you're listening and follow us on twitter @ballotworld.
