Governor-elect Daniel Santos has initiated the transition process for the government of Pará, requesting the handover from current Governor Hana Ghassan. The transition team, composed of 24 members, is tasked with overseeing various administrative, financial, and social sectors.

As part of his administration's preparations, Santos has appointed lawyer and rancher Vinícius Borba as the Secretary of Environment. Borba is expected to manage the impacts of ‘Operação Curupira,’ a law enforcement initiative targeting environmental crimes. Santos has signaled a policy focus on providing ‘legal security to produce,’ aiming to balance environmental responsibility with support for rural producers.
