Colombia: Green Party Candidate for President Proceeds to Run-Off Election

From the Latin American Herald Tribune:
Juan Manuel Santos, the governing party’s candidate for the Colombian presidency, couldn't manage to eke out a 50%-plus-1 majority of the votes in Sunday's election, despite getting more than twice as many votes (46.57%) as his Green Party rival, Antanas Mockus (21.55%) and now the pair will face off in a runoff.
