The election for the Association of Mato Grosso Municipalities (AMM) leadership for the 2027–2029 term faced legal delays following a challenge by the municipality of Nova Xavantina. The municipality questioned statutory changes, including the extension of leadership terms and new eligibility criteria.

After a judicial decision revoked the injunctions that had suspended the process, the vote counting resumed in Cuiabá. The legal dispute concluded when the municipality formally withdrew its action, allowing for the final tally.

Hemerson Lourenço Máximo, known as Maninho, was unanimously reelected to lead the association under the ‘AMM + Forte e Presente’ slate, receiving 111 votes from participating mayors.
