Recent polling for the October 4, 2026, Piura mayoral election shows a fragmented contest among more than a dozen candidates, with Miguel Cueva Celi of Somos Perú and Jorge Flores Bazán of Alianza para el Progreso holding the narrowest leads in surveys from mid-September. Multiple other contenders, including José Morey Requejo, maintain single-digit to low-double-digit support, preventing any single candidate from consolidating a clear advantage. The absence of major late-campaign shifts, scandals, or endorsements has kept the field competitive, as regional parties and independents split voter preferences across Piura province. Traders appear to price this dispersion into the market, with resolution hinging on final turnout and any last-minute consolidation among trailing options before election day.
