Summary
Abelardo De La Espriella was sworn in as Colombia's president in a historic ceremony outside the capital, Bogota, breaking more than a century of tradition. The inauguration marks a sharp ideological pivot for the country as De La Espriella, a Trump ally, succeeds Gustavo Petro, whose four-year term ended amid deepening political polarisation and economic headwinds.
De La Espriella's narrow victory of less than one percentage point ended four years of Colombia's first-ever leftist government. "We are beginning a new era!" he declared in his victory speech in June, after beating leftist rival Ivan Cepeda. Supporters hope De La Espriella will bring an iron fist when tackling crime and dissident armed groups after years of spluttering peace talks. "This government has a lot to prove," one supporter said.
