Gustavo Petro’s presidency, which began in 2022, faces its constitutional end in August 2026 as Colombian law bars immediate reelection. His approval ratings have rebounded to the 47-49 percent range in recent Invamer surveys, supported by minimum-wage increases and labor measures despite earlier cabinet reshuffles, corruption allegations, and stalled reforms. With the May 31, 2026 presidential election approaching, the contest centers on continuity through Historic Pact candidate Iván Cepeda versus opposition challengers emphasizing security and counternarcotics shifts. No active impeachment proceedings or resignation signals have emerged in the past month, leaving early removal dependent on legislative or institutional triggers that remain distant amid the campaign focus.
