Acre political landscape shifts as Alan Rick leads polls

Political activity in Acre is intensifying ahead of the 2026 elections. Senator Alan Rick (Republicanos) currently leads polling for the state government, with Mailza Assis (PP) following closely. Depending on the survey, the two candidates are either separated by a significant margin or are in a technical tie.

Rick has been actively campaigning in various municipalities, including Rio Branco and Plácido de Castro. His platform emphasizes public health, security, and economic development. He has met with civil and penal police representatives to discuss career restructuring, salary recomposition, and improved working conditions.

In the race for the Senate, Dr. Eduardo Velloso has secured endorsements from former Rio Branco council members Célio Gadelha and Ismael Machado. Meanwhile, the Senate contest also features notable names such as Gladson Cameli, Márcio Bittar, and Jorge Viana.
