A disputed vote count in Colombia’s congressional elections triggered fraud allegations and calls for a recount, risking undermining confidence in the electoral process two months before the country chooses its president.
Colombia's top electoral body announced on Monday it was ordering a recount of votes from Senate elections earlier this month due to the large number of fraud accusations.
Colombians went to the polls Sunday to draw up a shortlist of candidates for presidential elections that may yield the country's first-ever leftist leader.
