Qué admirable. La gente habló en las urnas y dejó sentada allí su visión para un mejor país. La Historia lo recordará. Es un día en que debe llenar de orgullo decir: “Soy irlandés!!!”.

However, whatever the outcome of the second round on 17th June, @petrogustavo has made history in making it this far alive, as a leftist presidential candidate. #Elecciones2018 #SegundaVuelta

If we've learnt anything today in Colombia, it's that while some may be ready for a centrist government, too many are not. #Elecciones2018 #SegundaVuelta

How did Colombians abroad vote? With 99% of the ballots counted and a turn-out of only 19.96%, 54.75% have voted for @IvanDuque; 26.41% for @sergio_fajardo and 12.3% for @petrogustavo #Elecciones2018 #EnVivo #ColombianosEnElExterior

An interesting look at how the people of Bogotá - Colombia's capital city - voted in today's presidential elections, considering the national results. #Elecciones2018 https://t.co/FZQTw8O1x3

Votación histórica en Bogotá: votaron 3'704.908 de 5'702.805 habilitados para votar. Sergio Fajardo ganó en Bogotá. https://t.co/DiNRSpWb16

'Expreso mi gratitud al expresidente @AlvaroUribeVel': @IvanDuque

[Julia @_TIEMPO_Fuera]

@sergio_fajardo and @DeLaCalleHum have both made impassioned speeches as they are left behind at the first round of presidential elections. Tune in now to hear that of @German_Vargas! #Elecciones2018#EnVivo

@andresrivera119 @IvanDuque @petrogustavo Point taken - I might've put those words in inverted commas. But I think it is fair to say that as far as so many Colombians seem to see him (this being such a consistently conservative country), the candidates are poles apart?

[Julia @_TIEMPO_Fuera]

Any hope of a centrist Colombian government has been crushed, as Colombians will be forced to choose between 2 extremes on 17th June: @IvanDuque from the far-right, or @petrogustavo from the far-left. #Elecciones2018 #EnVivo

[Julia @_TIEMPO_Fuera]

And there we have it: @IvanDuque and @petrogustavo will be battling it out for the presidency on 17th June. #Elecciones2018 #EnVivo

[Julia @_TIEMPO_Fuera]

But here's where it gets interesting: @sergio_fajardo (23.26%) edges closer and closer to stealing second position from @petrogustavo (24.66%)! #Elecciones2018 #EnVivo https://t.co/NvxEYZyEpM

[Julia @_TIEMPO_Fuera]

A second round of elections is now sure to take place on 17th June, with @IvanDuque reaching a plateau at 41%.

[EL TIEMPO @ELTIEMPO]

#Elecciones2018 ¿Habrá voto finish por el segundo lugar? @petrogustavo sigue segundo, con el 24%, pero @sergio_fajardo sube un punto y está en 21%. @IvanDuque luce sólido en primer lugar (41%), pero parece difícil que gane en primera vuelta https://t.co/JnGGYTPVt9
