Progressive candidate concedes Colombian presidential election to Trump-backed outsider

Progressive candidate Iván Cepeda has officially conceded Colombia's presidential election to conservative outsider Abelardo de la Espriella. Following a tight runoff where preliminary counts indicated a victory margin of less than one percentage point, the leftist senator's concession resolves doubts regarding the results. De la Espriella, who received endorsement from Trump, secures the presidency as Cepeda acknowledges the outcome of the vote, marking a significant political shift within the Colombian government.
