Maria do Carmo (PL) is navigating legal and political challenges during her campaign for the Amazonas governorship. A legal dispute emerged after the Electoral Public Prosecutor's Office (MPE) sought to identify the origins of news reports regarding an individual arrested in a drug trafficking operation who claimed to be a campaign coordinator. The MPE argued that “source secrecy does not apply” to content appearing to stem from press releases, a move condemned by journalist unions as a violation of press freedom. Following the first round of elections, where Do Carmo secured 24.49% of the valid votes, she has advanced to the second round.
