BOGOTA | Fri Mar 19, 2010 7:50pm EDT

BOGOTA (Reuters) - Former Colombian foreign minister Noemi Sanin has won the country's Conservative Party candidacy for the presidential race in May, according to tallies of more than 99 percent of votes on Friday.

Sanin, the only female presidential candidate, has promised to challenge front-runner Juan Manuel Santos in May's election in a decision that could split the Conservative Party and divide the center-right coalition behind outgoing President Alvaro Uribe.
