Weekly Report - 13 August 2026 (WR-26-32)

After yet another deeply polarised election campaign in Peru, President Keiko Fujimori appears to be exceeding expectations with her conciliatory approach since taking office on 28 July. Fujimori enjoys an approval rating of 60% in a nationwide survey published by the national pollster Datum for the daily El Comercio on 9 August. While her popularity varies across the country, she is in net-positive territory everywhere, even the southern regions where support for her left-wing rival Roberto Sánchez and hostility towards the established political class was strongest.
