2016 Colombian peace agreement referendum
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Colombian peace agreement referendum was held on 2 October 2016, aiming to ratify the final agreement on the termination of the Colombian conflict between the Colombian government and the FARC guerillas.[1] It failed, with 50.2% voting against it and 49.8% voting in favor.[2] Approval of the referendum was taken for granted in Colombia prior to the vote based on opinion polls. However, the 'No' option ended up winning by a narrow margin.
