AI Summary
Colombians vote Sunday in a presidential runoff between leftist Ivan Cepeda and far-right outsider Abelardo de la Espriella, with the frontrunner promising military escalation against armed groups.

Conservative: Conservative-leaning outlets frame de la Espriella's security-focused platform as a necessary break from leftist governance, celebrating his role in Latin America's broader political rightward shift.
