Colombians are heading to the polls for the first time since a peace deal between the government and FARC rebels were struck in 2016.

 

The campaign is focused on Ivan Duque of the right-wing Democrat centre party and Gustavo Petro a leftist, one-time rebel and former Mayor of Bogota.

 

Colombia’s elections are at the same time as several other Latin American nations including Brazil and Mexico choose leaders over the coming months.
