The first poll since Colombia’s congressional elections and primaries shows a surge in support for Federico Gutierrez, turning May’s vote for the presidency into a two-horse race, Semana magazine reported.
Guttierez, a former mayor of Medellin, obtained 23% of voter intentions in the poll by Centro Nacional de Consultoria, up from 4% in February. Frontrunner Gustavo Petro saw his support rise to 32% from 27%. Sergio Fajardo, the winner of the center-left coalition primary, got 10%. No one else registered more than that.
