As Governor Otaviano Pivetta prepares for his upcoming mandate, his reelection campaign focused on fiscal reorganization and increased public investment, aiming to raise investment levels from a historical 5–6% of current revenues to between 15% and 20%. Pivetta pledged not to reintroduce the FETHAB 2 agribusiness tax and announced a R$ 1.5 billion plan for 60,000 new homes. Recent polling shows Pivetta maintaining a significant lead in the race for state government. Surveys from Instituto Paraná Pesquisas and Instituto Veritá indicate Pivetta leading with approximately 39% to 40.8% of the vote, ahead of Senator Wellington Fagundes. His campaign has garnered endorsements from indigenous leaders, São Paulo Governor Tarcísio de Freitas, and former governor Mauro Mendes.
