Marginalized populations in Pacific and south-east departments, along with rural pockets throughout the country, appear to be binding together in support of anti-corruption candidate Gustavo Petro.

Surprisingly, Petro has become the most popular leftist presidential candidate in decades in the traditionally conservative country.
