Lorenzo Pazolini elected Governor of Espírito Santo

Overview

Lorenzo Pazolini (Republicanos) has been elected Governor of Espírito Santo following a second-round victory in the 2026 elections. Pazolini secured approximately 52% of the valid votes, defeating the incumbent, Ricardo Ferraço (MDB), who received roughly 48%.

A 44-year-old lawyer and former police delegate, Pazolini previously served two terms as the Mayor of Vitória. His campaign centered on public security, fiscal rigor, and infrastructure, including proposals for new hospitals and prisons. During the race, he proposed reducing state commissioned positions by 25% to 30%, suggesting such cuts could free up R$ 150 million for public policies like women’s protection and sanitation services. A Quaest poll during the campaign also indicated that Pazolini held the lowest rejection rate among competitors.

His victory marks a significant political transition, ending the long-standing influence of political groups led by former governors Renato Casagrande and Paulo Hartung. Pazolini is set to assume office on January 6, 2027, alongside vice-governor-elect Eliane Leal (PL), serving a term until 2030. His administration is expected to prioritize economic investment to mitigate potential revenue losses from national tax reforms.
