Colombia's President Gustavo Petro, constitutionally barred from reelection, is scheduled to complete his single term on August 7, 2026, following the May 31 presidential election that will determine his successor. Recent polling indicates his approval rating has risen to around 47 percent in April, supported by minimum-wage hikes and public-sector pay adjustments that reversed earlier lows near 26 percent. Past family-related investigations and stalled legislative reforms have not produced active impeachment proceedings or broad resignation demands in recent months. The upcoming vote, featuring Petro-backed candidate Iván Cepeda in a competitive field without a clear majority, remains the primary variable shaping any early leadership transition, while ongoing U.S. diplomatic tensions have not altered the constitutional timeline.
