Results.


Elections were last night, and...as expected, but not as the media would have led you to believe, Juan Manuel Santos of Partido de la U won with over 46% of the votes. Compared to 21% for Antanas Mockus of Partido Verde.

What you probably don't know is that if in the first round election the front runner does not win over 51% of the votes, they have a second round election one month after the first - with only the top two candidates on the ballot.

So nothing is final confirming Santos as the next president, but with only 21% of the vote, I think Antanus Mockus should concede and save us from having another ley seca.
