who has been elected as the new president of colombia
Colombian presidential election, 2018 Presidential elections were held in Colombia on 27 May 2018.[1] As no candidate received a majority of the vote, a second round was held on 17 June.[2] Incumbent President Juan Manuel Santos is ineligible for re-election, having already served two terms. President Iván Duque is serving a four-year term from 7 August 2018 to 7 August 2022.
Ecuadorian general election, 2017 General elections were held in Ecuador on 19 February 2017 alongside a referendum on tax havens.[1] Voters elected a new President and National Assembly. Incumbent President Rafael Correa of the PAIS Alliance was not eligible for re-election, having served two terms. In the first round of the presidential elections, PAIS Alliance candidate Lenín Moreno received 39% of the vote. Although he was more than 10% ahead of his nearest rival, Guillermo Lasso of the Creating Opportunities party, Moreno was just short of the 40% threshold required to avoid a run-off. As a result, a second round was held on 2 April.[2] In the second round Moreno was elected President with 51.16% of the vote.[3][4]
