In this week’s episode, Sam and Chern break down results for a pair of South American presidential elections in Colombia and Peru. In Colombia, how did Abelardo de la Espriella win the presidency and take Colombia back to the right? What is Gustavo Petro’s legacy? And why was the result so close? And in the knife-edge Peruvian poll, how was it fourth time lucky for Keiko Fujimori? Was the recent political instability to blame? And can she overcome it in her presidency? All these questions and more answered in this week’s episode.
