Peru’s Presidential Race Tightens as López Aliaga Stalls at 14.6%

Upcoming debates could sway a large bloc of late-deciding voters.

Overview

  • The latest IEP survey shows Rafael López Aliaga leading with 14.6% in February, virtually unchanged from January.
  • Voter definition increased to 64.2% saying they already have a candidate, while the non-choosing bloc fell to 35.8%.
  • Keiko Fujimori climbed to 10.3%, narrowing the gap, as Alfonso López Chau reached 5.3% and Carlos Álvarez 4.9%.
  • A Datum poll reports about 40% plan to decide after watching the debates and another 29% in the final week or on election day.
  • The JNE scheduled six presidential debates for late March to early April, yet 50.5% of Peruvians still cannot name a likely winner.
