Is third time the charm for Keiko Fujimori in Peru? I'd imagine she could successfully beat Kuczynski in a rematch since his approval is in the low 30s. It's far off but is there a possibility she could run? What are your thoughts?

Peruvian presidents can't run for re-election.

Her brother is going to run instead. This has basically already been decided unofficially.

She was not a very good candidate and should have won last time.

30%? That actually makes PPK the most popular Peruvian president in history.

She makes a great case for laws that prevent members of the family of former monarchs/dictators from running for office. It's a shame Peru doesn't have them.

In 2021 the left will not be in government (= unpopular) and the leftist candidate will do a lot better. Verónika Mendoza will have national name recognition and be 40 rather than 35 (which many considered too young). That will make it harder for a Fujimorist too make the run-off.

PPK can not run for reelection and has no obvious successor, so his ratings don't matter much (and they are actually quite good for a Peruvian president).

One thing we can bet on: Garcia running for 100th time.

I know.  What is amazing is that Garcia is only 68 and have a couple of more elections in him if he wants.  He was elected for the first time when he was only 36.

Here's a perfect case for an absolute term-limits, like in Mexico.
