Colombia's next president: Duque defeats left-wing Petro in runoff

Description

What next for Colombia? Voters tacking conservative in the first presidential runoff to feature a straight choice between left and right. 41-year old Ivan Duque beating Gustavo Petro, the former mayor of Bogota. Just how far to the right will Duque go? The protege of hardline former president Alvaro Uribe insists he won't tear up the 2016 peace deal with Farc rebels, but Duque wants to seriously amend it. Can he? Will he?
