Peru analyst: Lima mayoral race a plebiscite on incumbent, who trails badly

Political scientist Juan de la Puente claims the Lima mayoral election is a plebiscite on the incumbent mayor, who is seeking re-election in disguise and would not surpass 20% of the vote. The claim is an analyst's projection, not a poll, and reflects growing discontent with the current administration. This matters as it signals a potential political shift in Peru's capital, which could have national implications.
