  • A. 20 May 2022
  • B. 28 May 2022
  • C. 29 May 2022
  • D. 19 May 2022

Correct Answer: C. 29 May 2022

Presidential elections were held in Colombia on 29 May 2022, with a runoff on 19 June 2022 as no candidate obtained at least 50% in the first round of voting. Iván Duque, who was elected president in 2018, was ineligible to run due to term limits. Gustavo Petro, a senator and former Mayor of Bogota, defeated Rodolfo Hernández Suárez, former Mayor of Bucaramanga, in the runoff election. Petro’s victory made him the first left-wing candidate to be elected president of Colombia.
