Colombia's presidential election heads to runoff


(CNN) Colombia's presidential election will head to a runoff next month, since no candidate won 50% of the vote Sunday. With 99.9% of polling stations reporting on Sunday, conservative Ivan Duque was leading with 39% of votes. In second place was leftist Gustavo Petro with 25%, closely trailed by centrist Sergio Fajardo. The election is seen by some observers as a referendum on the country's peace deal with FARC rebels. Under the deal, the rebels agreed to lay down their arms, exit the jungle and pursue their aims via politics rather than guerrilla warfare.
