Long before he got the chance to enter politics, @ivanduquemarquez was a local rock star. As a teenager in the 1990s, he sang in his high school band, Pig Nose. His onetime bandmates say that even then he was looking for something deeper than rock ’n’ roll. It’s hard to imagine Duque as a long-haired grunge lover now. Sitting in his campaign headquarters in Bogotá, the 41-year-old sports the sober dress shirt and tie of the political class—a look honed by his years in Washington working for a development bank. The wardrobe will also work in his next job. On June 17 he became the youngest person to be elected president of #Colombia. This country of 49 million is something of a regional outlier in terms of its politics; its democratic institutions have withstood the rise of strongmen and populists who ran military dictatorships in the late 20th century in Argentina, Brazil and Chile, and, more recently, the socialist experiments in Venezuela and Bolivia. Duque, a partly U.S.-educated technocrat who speaks fluent English, is more in the mold of a ­Macron than a Chávez or a Pinochet. Like France’s upstart president, Duque says he wants to govern from the center. His first and greatest challenge when he takes power in August is to bridge the divide over the peace deal with the #FARC, which was at war with the state for five decades. Although a 2016 agreement earned outgoing President Juan Manuel Santos a Nobel Peace Prize, Colombians are bitterly divided over its terms. “Colombia has presented a paradox for the last two or three years,” explains Michael Reid, author of Forgotten Continent: A History of the New Latin America. “Santos’ government has been hailed globally for the #peace accord. But at home his government has been unpopular for a long time … partly because of disillusion with the peace agreement.” Duque, who won on a promise to overhaul the deal, must solve that paradox if he is to succeed in his ambition to become a new archetype for what a Latin American leader can be. The agreement, he says, “left a fracture in Colombian society. And I think now it’s time to heal that wound.” Read the full profile on TIME.com. Photograph by @stefanruizphoto for TIME
