He was a part of M-19, the organization that stole Bolívar's sword, awesome story. Anyway looks like he's going to win the first round handily, but I'm a bit worried about the runoff election. Polling has him barely ahead in a hypothetical runoff with the guy polling second and we all know what sorts of shenanigans can happen in a scenario like that. Still, the left has been winning in South America overall. We lost in Ecuador but won in Chile and Perú recently for example.
