Paraíba electoral alliances (2026 update)
In early July, analysts outlined the emerging configuration of presidential‑level camps in Paraíba, noting the competing influence of supporters of President Lula and former President Flávio Bolsonaro. By late July, the mapping had translated into concrete realignments among state politicians ahead of the 2024 elections. MDB councilor Milanez Neto announced he was ending his alliance with Senator Veneziano Vital do Rêgo and would fully back Governor Lucas Ribeiro’s re‑election ticket, including Senate candidates João Azevêdo (PSB) and Nabor Wanderley (Republicanos). Simultaneously, former state deputy Manoel Ludgério opposed his wife’s placement on the PSD federal‑deputy list, leading the party to replace her with businessman Lula Cabral to satisfy gender‑quota rules. Ludgério reiterated support for Cícero Lucena’s gubernatorial bid and for Senator Vital, while distancing himself from any perceived tie to Governor Ribeiro. These moves illustrate how initial broad alliance sketches solidified into specific endorsements and candidate swaps, reflecting the The fluid nature of Paraíba’s political landscape as parties position themselves continued into 2026. On July 30, 2026, Milanez Neto publicly severed his alliance with Senator Veneziano and pledged support for Governor Lucas Ribeiro’s re‑election bid, also endorsing the upcoming governing coalition’s Senate candidates João Azevêdo and Nabor Wanderley. Senator Veneziano named Janine Lucena, daughter of MDB pre‑candidate Cícero Lucena, as his first substitute on the Senate ticket, reinforcing the party’s ties to the Lucena family. These moves further solidified the governor’s coalition ahead of the 2026 state elections.
