petro, the former guerrilla, topped the poll with a0%. what will the run—off between the two men bring? luis fajardo of bbc monitoring, who is colombian himself, is covering the election. colombians are absorbing the shock of two candidates completely from outside the political establishment, something extremely unusual in a country that is almost the only one in latin america that never elected an country that is almost outsider, a left—winger. everything seems to indicate that there is going to be a tough competition for the election. gustavo petro got a0%. is he realistically going to get much more than that? his critics say that that has always been his ceiling. that similar to the vote he got four years ago, when he was the runner—up in the election in 2018. he has a difficult time ahead of him because a lot of the rest of the political spectrum is going to get grouped against him because there is so much fear in some sectors of colombian society of the possibility of a left—wing leader becoming the president. a sort of venez

let's start out with gustavo petro at. we've got a couple of facts here. elizabeth, help us understand. gustavo, what kind of candidate is he? it is a left, a senator is a former and 19 member which is an armed group. 3 time presidential candidate is full time, a charm? elizabeth? more? yes. so pictures of the interesting character because he sort of come to embody the, the political left here in columbia. a partly because he's just been such a player for such a long time because of his outspoken role as a, as a senator because of his time as mirabella at but this time around is, is probably that the moment when he has the best chance, at least according to the pull so far, to become the president of columbia. and in fact, if you were to do so, it would be the 1st time in really over half a century that columbia would have a left leaning president. so this is really a watershed moment, and i think what petro has been able to do successfully 2 things. first, he has been it really the candidate who has most successfully, let

i think petro's win will unsettle markets. i think that his critics said that his economic plans were economic suicide. he wants to move away from fossil fuels, away from away from exploring for more oil. and i think that's a departure. i think that's something that's really interesting as a president, somebody who has really prioritised green policies. but i think his politics also shows a real departure for colombia. colombia is one of the most unequal countries in the world. i think it's going to be great expectations from his supporters that he can change colombia, but he has four years to do it. and i think there will be a lot of, he'll have this kind of honeymoon period, but it's going to be a really tough, tough ride. and of course, a lot of people are going to think venezuela, aren't they? i think everybody uses venezuela as this kind of ghost of latin america. whenever you speak to somebody who is a bit nervous of the left, they say we don't want to become the new venezuela. when petro won, hernandez conceded defeat v
