Left-wing candidate concedes defeat in Colombia election

Leftist candidate Ivan Cepeda on Wednesday conceded victory in the tightly fought presidential election won by hard-right rival Abelardo de la Espriella. Cepeda lost Sunday's runoff by less than one percentage point, and has distanced himself from post-election protests. After earlier saying he would wait for the vote count to finish, he told reporters that he had "decided to accept the result emerging from that process."
