Majority of urban Colombia to vote in favor of FARC peace deal: Gallup

Majority of urban Colombia to vote in favor of FARC peace deal: Gallup
Posted by Adriaan Alsema on Aug 26, 2015

Almost 69% of Colombia’s urban dwellers will vote in favor of a peace deal with FARC rebels if one is reached, according to pollster Gallup.

The pollster asked the opinion on the peace talks in the country’s five largest cities.

The responses showed a broad will to approve a peace deal, but strong pessimism over the possibility a peace deal can be reached this year.

According to Gallup, 82.6% of urban Colombians have no faith a pact will be signed in 2015. No more than 12.5% believe the administration of President Juan Manuel Santos is able to end 51 years of armed conflict this year.
