Colombia election: Farc fails to win support in first national vote

Colombia's conservative parties, opposed to the 2016 peace deal with Farc rebels, have taken the lead in the country's elections.

Sunday's vote was the first in which the former Farc guerrillas, now a political party, took part.
With more than 90% of votes counted, ex-president Alvaro Uribe's Democratic Centre party won the most seats.
The Farc performed poorly, in line with expectations - but is guaranteed some seats by the peace agreement.
It received just 0.4% of the total number of votes - but will receive five seats each of the two chambers of parliament.
