Amazonas Senate election developments

Overview

In Amazonas, the race for two Senate seats has intensified following new polling data and public disputes between candidates. A DMP survey indicates that Senator Eduardo Braga leads the contest with 27.8% of total voting intentions, maintaining an 11.7 percentage point lead over Capitão Alberto Neto (16.1%). Former Governor Wilson Lima follows in third place with 14% of the total votes.

The political competition has been marked by a dispute regarding healthcare services. Wilson Lima publicly challenged allegations made by Eduardo Braga concerning the Hospital e Pronto-Socorro 28 de Agosto. While Braga had suggested the facility imposed a daily limit of 190 patients, Lima denied these claims, asserting the hospital maintains an average of 400 daily visits. Lima further criticized Braga, suggesting the Senator has become “disconnected from the local reality of Manaus” due to his tenure in Brasília.
