Mundo Gustavo Petro, face-to-face candidate of #Colombia reaches 44% of the intention to vote, according to the latest survey by the Musketeers group.

While his main rival in this electoral contest, Federico Gutiérrez, obtains 22%.

The survey also presented its respondents with some possible scenarios for the second round. Although Petro has the highest percentage, we must speak of a technical tie since the margin of error is 2.5.

In that eventual second round between Petro and Fico, the former mayor of Bogota would obtain 45.7 percent and the mayor of Medellin would get 42 percent.
