2014 Colombian presidential election
The 2014 Colombian presidential election was held to choose the country's leader for a four-year term. The main candidates were incumbent President Juan Manuel Santos, who focused on peace talks with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) to end decades of conflict, and Oscar Iván Zuluaga, who opposed the peace process. Santos won in a runoff election, securing 51% of the votes. His victory was seen as a mandate to continue peace negotiations, reflecting a desire for stability and reconciliation in Colombia, a country historically affected by violence and social issues.
