Colombian presidential candidate Abelardo de la Espriella is urging prosecutors to investigate possible voter coercion by rebel groups in favor of governing party candidate Iván Cepeda. De la Espriella made the call for an inquiry on Tuesday. His campaign says Cepeda received more than 70% of votes in areas with active illegal armed groups during the May 31 election.
