Left-wing Sen. **Iván Cepeda** and conservative lawyer **Abelardo de la Espriella** will be her biggest rivals come the election.\n\nThere was also a congressional vote in Colombia yesterday, one that was split: neither President**Gustavo Petro** ’s Historic Pact, a leftist group, nor the main opposition Democratic Center won an outright majority.",
