Torrado Urpigeneral manager of Datum Internacional, commented this Friday on the latest survey carried out on the next Municipal and Regional Elections 2022. In this recent poll it was learned that Daniel Urresti (Podemos Perú), Rafael López Aliaga (Popular Renovation) and George Forsyth (Somos Perú) continue to lead the voting intention for the mayor of Lima.

“At this time we see a growth trend for Forsyth, it has increased from four points to another in the survey; however, that is not seen in the certificate. We must observe an expectant third place. In the case of Urresti it does seem that there is a small decrease that might have favored the candidate of Together for Peru, Gonzalo Alegría. All the complaints came out almost in parallel with the survey, which will be reflected in the following days. The districts of the Northern Cone are where the Podemos candidate has more strength, “he indicated on the program” Las Cosas Como Son “of RPP.

When do people decide their vote?
