Colombia counts votes for next Congress

Colombians voted on Sunday to elect a new Congress and choose three of the presidential candidates who will run in elections this May, a vote that will shape the next president’s ability to push through legislation and ⁠fulfill their agenda.
Voters chose from over 3,000 candidates to fill 102 Senate seats and 182 House seats, in a peaceful election analysts have predicted ‌will be divided among some two dozen parties, likely forcing the next president to form a coalition government.
While polls closed at 4 p.m. local time, results for the Senate and House were too early to call at around 7:30 p.m.
Alongside the legislative elections, right-wing, leftist and centrist groups held primaries to choose candidates for the May presidential election.
