Peru 2026 Polls: López Aliaga Holds Narrow Lead as Rejection Rates and Undecided Voters Dominate

Soaring voter rejection leaves the contest fluid.

Overview

  • An Ipsos survey conducted February 5–6 places Rafael López Aliaga at 12% and Keiko Fujimori at 8%, with four contenders tied at 4% and several others at 2%.
  • Ipsos’ potential-electorate analysis shows Fujimori with 76% rejection and a 19% RPE, while López Aliaga leads the field with a 39% RPE but faces 51% rejection.
  • Alfonso López-Chau ranks second in potential reach at 35% RPE, yet 54% of respondents say they do not know him, underscoring persistent recognition gaps.
  • High noncommitment persists, with Ipsos reporting 27% blank/none and IMASOLU finding 30.17% undecided plus 6.25% blank/none in January.
  • A new Datum readout reported by Correo estimates about 6.5 million Peruvians—27.6%—plan to vote blank, spoil, or choose no candidate, led by the view that “all are corrupt,” with the largest concentration in the south.
