# Omar Aziz leads Amazonas gubernatorial race > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/omar-aziz-amazonas-gubernatorial-campaign > Updated: 2026-08-24T17:46:50.000Z. Sources: 45. Developments: 3. The gubernatorial race in Amazonas continues to be led by Senator Omar Aziz, according to recent polling data. While a Quaest survey conducted in late August shows Aziz with 26% of first-round intentions, a separate Real Time Big Data poll indicates a stronger lead for the Senator at 34%. In both datasets, incumbent Governor Roberto Cidade follows Aziz, with Quaest placing him at 18% and Real Time Big Data at 22%. The competition for subsequent positions remains tight; Quaest reports Maria do Carmo Seffair at 16% and Manaus Mayor David Almeida at 15%, placing them in a technical tie. Despite the electoral competition, Governor Cidade maintains a high approval rating of 71% among the electorate. Simulated second-round scenarios suggest highly competitive matchups. Aziz holds either a narrow lead or a technical tie against both Maria do Carmo and Roberto Cidade across various models. As the campaign progresses, Aziz has expanded his platform with specific regional proposals. His ‘Força Amazonas’ coalition has secured the largest share of radio and television advertising time. To address public security, he introduced the ‘Ronda nos Rios’ program, which aims to establish fluvial bases along the Solimões and Madeira rivers to combat piracy, drug trafficking, and environmental crimes. He also proposed hiring 250 municipal guards in Tapauá with state support. Aziz’s development plans include an urbanization program for Manacapuru modeled after the Prosamim initiative and the strengthening of the Amazonas Technological Education Center (Cetam) to provide professional training. Furthermore, he has emphasized indigenous bioeconomy and ethnodevelopment, proposing the creation of regional processing hubs for socio-biodiversity products to transform traditional knowledge into sustainable productive chains. ## Claims - Omar Aziz has 26% of the voting intentions.
