Brazil elections: Pivetta re-elected in Mato Grosso as runoffs loom
The 2026 Brazilian elections have produced several key results across multiple states. In Mato Grosso, Otaviano Pivetta (Republicanos) secured re-election as Governor in the first round with 60.77% of valid votes. Max Russi (Podemos) emerged as the most voted candidate for the State Legislative Assembly. In Roraima, Nicoletti (PL) and Teresa Surita (MDB) were elected to the Senate.
In Amazonas, the gubernatorial race will proceed to a second round between Omar Aziz (PSD) and Maria do Carmo (PL). Renato Junior, the Mayor of Manaus, has announced his support for Omar Aziz. Similarly, in Tocantins, Professora Dorinha (União Brasil) and Vicentinho Júnior (PSDB) will face a runoff, with Dorinha's campaign focusing on mobilizing female voters.
Other notable outcomes include the election of state deputies in Maranhão, such as Bruna Pessoa (MDB), and the re-election of Dr. Luís do Hospital in Rondônia. National trends indicate high abstention rates in states like Mato Grosso do Sul and Rio de Janeiro, while the presidential race between Flávio Bolsonaro (PL) and Lula (PT) is set for a second round on October 25.
