Senator Weverton Rocha adds Universal pastor Renan Wayne as second Senate substitute

Senator Weverton Rocha (PDT) announced on Tuesday, July 28, 2026 that pastor Renan Wayne of the Universal Church of the Kingdom of God will serve as the second substitute on his re‑election ticket for the Brazilian Senate. Wayne, who coordinates the Universal Church’s political activities in Maranhão, also holds the positions of first substitute for a state deputy and tenente‑capelão of the Military Police. He joins first substitute Alderico Campos, completing a slate that seeks to broaden support among religious, political and community leaders in the state.

The move is presented as a strengthening of the alliance with the Universal Church, aiming to attract voters from the evangelical segment and consolidate a broader base for Rocha’s campaign in Maranhão.
