Paraná 2026 elections – governor, Senate race

Entities: Eduardo Paes · Maurício Requião Filho · Partido dos Trabalhadores (PT) · Florisvaldo Fier (Dr. Rosinha) · Ratinho Junior

Overview

July polling kept former judge Sergio Moro (PL) ahead in the Paraná 2026 gubernatorial race, with a Paraná Pesquisas survey on July 7 giving him 39.9% of voting intentions (45.1% among the main contenders). Moro’s campaign tour, launched on July 9, visited 15 municipalities to stress infrastructure, health, security and economic development. A Veritá Institute poll released on July 12 listed nine Senate candidates, including former federal prosecutor Deltan Dallagnol (Novo), who reaffirmed his pre‑candidacy despite a 2023 TSE ruling. The same poll reported a paid‑propaganda video financed by PL‑PR deputy Filipe Barros that could breach TSE rules, and the Paraná Regional Electoral Court barred the poll’s release over sampling concerns. On July 20 the state branch of the Green Party (PV) unanimously endorsed PDT candidate Requião Filho for governor and PT senator Gleisi Hoffmann for the Senate, while Requião Filho met Vice‑President Geraldo Alckmin to seek Brazilian Socialist Party (PSB) backing, offering the vice‑governor slot. The emerging coalition now includes PDT, PT, PV, PCdoB, PSOL, Rede and is courting PSB. Late‑July developments deepened the coalition split: the Federation União Progressista (coalition of União Brasil and Partido Progressista) formally backed Sandro Alex (PSD) for governor and Alexandre Curi (Republicanos) for Senate, expanding Alex’s campaign infrastructure and isolating rival Rafael Greca (MDB). The endorsement ends expectations of a partnership between Alex and Sergio Moro. The state executive of Democracia Cristã officially backed Moro’s pre‑candidacy, presenting a video with mayors Rafaela Losi (Clevelândia) and Marciano Vottri (Vitorino) and confirming party leadership’s role in his campaign. Its “Juntos Paraná 399” platform, coordinated by vice‑governor candidate Edson Vasconcelos, has now gathered more than 3,000 citizen, expert and union suggestions, geolocated and organized into five thematic axes for technical appraisal.
