Paraíba election: candidate registrations and campaign moves

Overview

As the 2026 election cycle progresses, candidates in Paraíba are intensifying their regional efforts and unveiling specific policy platforms. On 2 September 2026, Governor Lucas Ribeiro announced a plan to implement zero IPVA for app drivers starting in 2027. His political allies, including Nabor Wanderley, expressed confidence in a first-round victory for Ribeiro. In contrast, Cícero Lucena pledged to build a new UPA and a full-time state school in the Aluízio Campos neighborhood of Campina Grande. On 6 September 2026, Ribeiro launched the ‘Daqui pra Melhor’ campaign caravan, traveling through the Litoral and Mata Sul regions to highlight state investments. To bolster electoral integrity, the City Hall of João Pessoa and the Regional Electoral Court of Paraíba (TRE-PB) signed a technical cooperation agreement to provide the court access to approximately 9,000 video monitoring cameras. Meanwhile, TV Norte Paraíba canceled a scheduled gubernatorial debate, citing an inability to complete “structural and technical adjustments required to ensure safety and quality for the event.” On 9 September 2026, candidates Cícero Lucena and Efraim Filho addressed critical law enforcement shortages during a public security forum. Concurrently, the TRE-PB reported significant progress in electoral administration, having processed 93.6% of candidate registration requests. Further developments on 9 September 2026 indicate that the OAB-PB has scheduled hearings from 14 to 16 September for gubernatorial candidates, including Lucas Ribeiro, Efraim Filho, and Cícero Lucena, to present their proposals. The Electoral Public Ministry is also evaluating whether to appeal to the TSE following the TRE-PB’s approval of Cícero Lucena’s candidacy, which had faced challenges regarding alleged links to organized crime. On 13 September 2026, the Paraíba Military Police presented a security plan to the TRE-PB. The operation, scheduled to begin on 1 October, will involve deploying specialized troops from João Pessoa to the interior, starting with the Sertão region.
