Framing Analysis
Abelardo de la Espriella defeated Iván Cepeda in Colombia’s presidential runoff held on Sunday and was declared the winner by electoral authorities on Wednesday after a recount. The margin was one percentage point; de la Espriella, a political outsider endorsed by U.S. President Donald Trump, will succeed outgoing President Gustavo Petro on August 7. Petro and Cepeda initially declined to accept the results pending the recount.
