Ceará Electoral Court Upholds Federation Union Progressive Alliance with Ciro Gomes

On 4 August 2026 the Regional Electoral Court of Ceará (TRE‑CE) voted 4‑2 to confirm the validity of the Federation Union Progressive’s convention, keeping the federation in the coalition led by Ciro Gomes. The decision preserves Gomes’ candidacy for governor, Roberto Claudio’s slot for vice‑governor and Capitão Wagner’s nomination for the Senate.

The convention’s program, as reported, focused heavily on public security, corruption and administrative morality, while giving little attention to policies aimed at the poor or broader social development. Critics note the absence of proposals for poverty reduction, food security and family agriculture, contrasting it with previous platforms that linked economic growth to social inclusion.
