Colombia's President-elect Ivan Duque has pledged to unite the country.
Duque swept aside leftist Gustavo Petro in Sunday's election, capturing almost 54 percent of the vote. In his victory speech, the new president-elect promised to roll back parts of a fragile peace accord with FARC rebels that has divided the South American nation. But despite what some of his hawkish allies had been urging, he will not "shred it to pieces". When the 41-year-old Duque takes office in August, he will be Colombia's youngest president in more than a century. Earlier we talked with reporter Michelle Begue in Bogota about the election results.
