Leftist candidate admits defeat in Colombia
Leftist senator Iván Cepeda admits defeat in Colombia's presidential election.
Cepeda lost by 1 percentage point to his opponent, right-wing politician Abelardo de la Espriella, who has been supported by US President Donald Trump.
The victory for businessman and lawyer de la Espriella was secured by a margin of almost 251,000 votes.
Iván Cepeda and outgoing president Gustavo Petro initially did not accept the vote count and he said he wanted to wait for a review of the election results. But on Wednesday, Cepeda finally announced that he was admitting defeat.
