Gustavo Petro, Colombia’s first leftist president, faces constitutional term limits barring reelection and will leave office following the May 31, 2026, presidential election and subsequent inauguration of his successor. Recent legislative elections delivered gains for his Historical Pact coalition, though without a governing majority, while his approval rating rebounded toward 50 percent amid minimum-wage increases and military pay raises. Ongoing investigations into associates and stalled reform efforts have not produced formal removal proceedings, leaving the scheduled transition as the dominant factor in trader assessments of leadership continuity through the remainder of his term.
