Thousands of Colombian voters headed towards polling stations in Bogota on Sunday, as the second round of the country's presidential elections kicked off.
Conservative Ivan Duque celebrated in the first round, winning 39.1 percent of the vote.
It is the first election since the government signed a peace agreement with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) in 2016.
Two candidates compete for votes: the Democratic Centre party's Ivan Duque, known for opposing the peace deal with the FARC and the ex-guerrilla and former Bogota mayor Gustavo Petro, running for the Progressive Movement.
