Gustavo Petro is serving the final months of his term as Colombia’s president, constitutionally barred from seeking reelection in the May 31, 2026, first-round vote that will determine his successor. Recent polling shows his approval rating rebounding to the high 40s, supported by wage and public-sector pay measures, while his party secured a congressional plurality in March without gaining a working majority for further reforms. No active impeachment proceedings or broad resignation calls have emerged in recent months, and ongoing efforts such as the push for a constituent assembly remain tied to the regular transition timeline. The election process, including a potential June 21 runoff, and the August 7 inauguration of the next president continue to frame the primary timeline for any leadership change.
