On the off chance that no hopeful gets more than 50 percent, the best two will go to a moment round on June 17. Untrustworthy surveys mean anti-extremist Sergio Fajardo and focus right German Vargas may have a shot.

In question is whether Latin America's fourth-biggest economy will desert its generally advertise neighborly stance, and additionally the eventual fate of the peace manage Progressive Military of Colombia (FARC) rebels.

"These decisions are among the most essential we've lived since we've had a political awareness," said Jorge Valderrama, who oversees Colombia, Focal America and the Caribbean for head of BNP Paribas. "The nation's model will be chosen."

Business-accommodating Duque has guaranteed to update the peace accord marked in 2016 with the FARC, speaking to the individuals who say the arrangement was excessively indulgent and need previous guerrilla administrators imprisoned for wrongdoings conferred amid their 50 years uprising.

Duque likewise promises to decrease corporate expenses, excluded capital merchandise imports and bolster the improvement of oil and mining activities to help revive development.

The peace bargain, which won Santos a Nobel Peace Prize, saw a great many guerrilla contenders hand over their weapons and join a reintegration procedure.

In any case, Vargas has a rough open picture and an absence of appeal that puts off numerous voters.

Duque, 41, is viewed as more friendly however has been expelled by numerous as excessively youthful and unpracticed, making it impossible to run a country of 50 million individuals with a battling $324 billion economy.

A one-term congressperson, Duque worked at the Between American Improvement Bank in Washington until 2014, when Uribe requesting that he come back to Colombia and sit down in Congress.

Experts stress his tax reductions could make an income hole and some trust he will be intensely affected by Uribe, known for his cruel offensives against the FARC and managing a light economy amid his 2002-2010 organization.

Petro underpins the peace bargain, as do Fajardo and Vargas.

Duque will have a simpler time with Congress if chose - following congressional races in Spring, his Popularity based Center gathering has more Senate seats than some other and is in second place in the lower house. Petro's gathering has just six seats in Congress and he would confront a daunting task to pass enactment.
