| Info | Luis Castañeda Lossio is the current mayor of Lima, Peru. Born in Chiclayo, his father was this city's mayor.
He was trained as a lawyer at the Catholic University of Peru, in Sweden and Mexico. In 1981, he started as a member of People's Action Party, working with many of the former mayors of Lima.
Between 1990-1996, during Fujimori's government, he was the President of the National Institute of Public Health. In 2000, he ran as a Candidate of his own party National Solidarity Party, at the presidential elections, but he failed to make it to the run-off elections.
In 2002, he participated in the elections for mayor with the National Unity Party, defeating the then mayor of the city Alberto Andrade.
Castañeda is one of the most popular mayors of Lima with a popularity index close to 79%, due to his developing of many public works projects at the slums of Lima, like road projects to reduce the chaotic transport of Lima, his main project is the Lima Metro, with line 1 now finished, linking the city from north to south, they are now working on line 2, which runs from Ate in the east to Callao in the coast. In February, 2005, President Alejandro Toledo, gave Lima's City Hall budget to finish line 1, to extend it to downtown Lima.
He leads the polls to be the next possible president in 2006, thanks to his high approval rating by the city of Lima (lowest approval rating 86% and highest approval rating 98% so far) although he doesn't have intentions to run for presidency, as he may seek for re-election as the city's mayor, to finish the 5 lines of the Lima Metro.
