Goiás 2026 gubernatorial race: Daniel Vilela confirmed, Marconi Perillo selects Jacqueline Zaiden as running mate
The MDB confirmed Daniel Vilela as its candidate for governor of Goiás, with PSD member Luiz Carlos do Carmo slated as his vice‑governor. Vilela pledged to continue the policies of former governor Ronaldo Caiado and highlighted his commitment to security, development and the state's legacy.
Former governor Marconi Perillo (PSDB) announced rural producer Jacqueline Zaiden as his vice‑governor candidate, stressing her agribusiness background and the strategic importance of the sector for the ticket. The PSDB‑Cidadania coalition subsequently altered its name to “Goiás Pode Muito Mais” after a naming dispute with the PT‑led coalition over the use of “Goiás Pode Mais”.
Zé Mário Schreiner, previously left out of Vilela’s ticket, reassumed the presidency of the Goiás Federation of Agriculture and Livestock (Faeg) following the finalization of the Vilela‑Carmo ticket. The developments reflect a broader contest for agribusiness support between the governing coalition and Perillo’s opposition strategy.
