Abelardo De La Espriella, a Trump-backed rightist and lawyer, appeared headed for victory in Colombia, according to a New York Times report.
Abelardo De La Espriella, a right-wing lawyer backed by Donald Trump, appeared headed for victory in Colombia, The New York Times reported, in a result that would add another win for the right in Latin America.
The report described De La Espriella as a lawyer with no previous political experience, making his rise notable in a country where a win by an outsider figure would carry consequences beyond the immediate race.
A victory would also be watched across the region as another sign of momentum for right-leaning political movements in Latin America. The available report did not include a final margin or a detailed account of De La Espriella’s governing plans, leaving the next phase of the political shift to be defined by official results and his first steps after the vote.
