RAUL ARBOLEDA/AFPColombian President Juan Manuel Santos casts his vote at a polling station in Bogota during parliamentary elections in Colombia, on March 11, 2018.
Colombians went to the polls Sunday to elect a new Congress with a resurgent right, bitterly opposed to a peace deal that allows leftist former rebels to participate, expected to poll strongly. The election is set to be the calmest in half a century of conflict in Colombia, with the former rebel movement FARC spurning jungle warfare for politics, and the ELN -- the country's last active rebel group -- observing a ceasefire.
