The leftist candidate Ivan Cepeda conceded defeat in Colombia’s presidential election ahead of the end of the formal vote count.
At a press conference, Cepeda said he accepted the results of the formal count that changed little to the preliminary count that was announced on Sunday.
I have decided to accept the result of that process, which designates Abelardo de la Espriella as the new president of the Republic.

“I am doing this as an act of democratic responsibility. I am doing this to contribute to harmony, peace, and dialogue among Colombians,” said the former candidate.
