Maria do Carmo rejects vice slot, stays in Amazonas governor race

Maria do Carmo Seffair, the pre‑candidate of the Liberal Party (PL) for the Amazonas governorship, publicly refused proposals for her to run as a vice‑governor on another ticket. She affirmed that the PL has the political and electoral strength to head a major coalition in the state and that she will not abandon her own candidacy.

In an interview she reiterated that the party’s national executive may desire her as a running mate, but she called that “no chance.” She also noted ongoing discussions about her own vice‑governor pick and indicated openness to receiving names from other political forces. The remarks came amid reports of local political pressures in interior municipalities, which she dismissed as routine, and highlighted a supporter’s long journey to meet her, underscoring her perceived grassroots appeal.
