Conservative Ivan Duque, who swept aside leftist Gustavo Petro in the Colombian presidential election on June 17, pledged to unite his South American nation after a divisive campaign, but insisted he would change a landmark peace accord with leftist rebels. In the first presidential election since the 2016 peace deal with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), Duque worried Colombians with a promise to overhaul the accord that ended a five-decade conflict which killed more than 220,000 people and displaced millions. He has promised to impose tougher punishments on rebels for war crimes.
