Brazil Elections 2026: Major shifts in Senate and governorships

The 2026 Brazilian regional elections have produced significant shifts in political leadership across several states. In São Paulo, Guilherme Derrite (PP) and André do Prado (PL) were elected to the Senate, securing the state's two available seats. In the state assembly (Alesp), Eduarda Campopiano (PL) emerged as the most voted state deputy, while Lucas Pavanato (PL) became the most voted federal deputy for the state.

In Paraná, Sergio Moro (PL) won the governorship with over 50% of the vote, defeating Sandro Alex. The state also elected Deltan Dallagnol (Novo) and Filipe Barros (PL) to the Senate.

In Alagoas, a major political shift occurred as Renan Calheiros (MDB) lost his Senate seat after 36 years of consecutive victories. The vacancies in Alagoas were filled by Arthur Lira (PP) and Marina JHC (PSDB).

In Espírito Santo, Renato Casagrande (PSB) and Evair de Melo (Republicanos) were elected to the Senate.
