Lula expands vote share in Alagoas and Canaã dos Carajás

Following the 2026 presidential election second round, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva demonstrated significant growth in voter support across specific Brazilian regions, despite facing opposition from Flávio Bolsonaro.

In Alagoas, Lula increased his margin of victory over Bolsonaro from 259,000 to over 408,000 votes. His share of valid votes rose from 54.73% to 60.77%. While Bolsonaro maintained strength in the Maceió metropolitan area and the northern coast, he lost control of several municipalities, including Coruripe, São Miguel dos Campos, and Barra de São Miguel, which shifted to the government base.

In Canaã dos Carajás, Pará, Bolsonaro secured a victory, but Lula saw a notable increase in his vote count. Lula added 3,592 votes between the first and second rounds, while Bolsonaro added only 910. This growth reduced the gap between the two candidates from 16,870 votes in the first round to 14,188 in the second.
