Adriano Galdino, president of the Legislative Assembly of Paraíba (ALPB), has faced internal political friction regarding succession planning. Galdino announced he was excluded from discussions organized by Lucas Ribeiro concerning a political project involving the Republicanos party, which serves as a key pillar of the state government.

Amidst these internal tensions, Galdino has committed to maintaining the functionality of the ALPB during the 2026 electoral campaign. He intends to hold at least one ordinary session per week, alongside special sessions and public hearings, to ensure legislative operations continue while deputies engage in political activities.
