A comfortable majority of urban Colombians will vote in favor of a peace deal currently being negotiated with their countrys largest rebel group, the FARC, according to a poll.
Pollster Cifras & Conceptos asked almost 1,600 Colombians in the countrys five largest cities about their opinion on the peace talks that formally began in 2012 and are expected to finalize within weeks.
The Colombian people will be asked to ratify the deal through a mechanism that is currently being defined by the Constitutional Court.
