Colombian left makes historic gains in legislative elections: partial results

BOGOTA, March 14, 2022 (BSS/AFP) - Leftist candidates were projected to win
the most seats in Colombia's Senate on Sunday, as well as contending for
second place in the lower house, in what would be their best ever electoral
result.

   With more than 90 percent of polling stations counted, the left's
Historical Pact coalition is set to win 17 of the 102 seats in the upper
house, partial results from the electoral authority showed.

 In the lower house, it looks set to take 25 of the 165 seats in a tie with
the Conservatives and behind the Liberals.
