Brazil continues to see legislative shifts and evolving electoral alliances for the 2026 elections. Recent legislative changes include Sargento Reginauro (PSDB-CE) being sworn in for Ceará to replace Eduardo Girão during a four-month leave; Reginauro indicated a focus on public security and oncology patients' rights. In São Paulo, Frederico D’Ávila has been named the first substitute on Ricardo Salles’s Senate ticket, replacing Marcos Alcântara Machado. At the municipal level, Carlos Kleber Almeida (PSD) assumed office as a Salvador city councilor, and Douglas Marcucci took a temporary seat in Araras. In the Distrito Federal, Governor Celina Leão has officially launched her reelection campaign, supported by a conservative coalition including Michelle Bolsonaro, Bia Kicis, and Damares Alves. Leão’s ticket features Gustavo Rocha (Republicanos) as vice-governor, and she has emphasized that her campaign is “majoritarily composed of women.” As her campaign intensifies, Leão has announced infrastructure plans, including feasibility studies for expanding the metro system to five ~~regions~~ regions—Candangolândia, Riacho Fundo, Recanto das Emas, Gama, and Santa Maria—and implementing BRT services. In healthcare, she ~~announced the authorization of~~ has authorized nearly 3,000 orthopedic surgeries and recently appointed 300 doctors to ~~reduce waiting lists.~~ strengthen urgency and emergency services. Addressing social issues, Leão defended her administration’s approach to the homeless population against accusations of “social cleansing,” stating the government uses an integrated model of social assistance and public security. She also mentioned a legislative project proposing compulsory hospitalization in extreme mental health cases. Recent polling from Instituto Gazeta de Pesquisas (IGAPE) shows Leão leading the race for the Palácio do Buriti with 36.5%, ahead of José Roberto Arruda (20.7%) and Leandro Grass (13.8%).
