Paraná gubernatorial election developments

Overview

Political activity in Paraná is intensifying as the 2026 gubernatorial campaign progresses. Current Governor Carlos Massa Ratinho Junior has focused on his administration’s economic record, citing high GDP, low unemployment, and significant infrastructure projects such as the Guaratuba Bridge and the modernization of the Port of Paranaguá.

In response to the election, the G7 Paraná group presented a 48-page Strategic Agenda for Paraná (2027/30) to various candidates to guide future public management and economic policy.

Candidate Requião Filho (PDT) has expanded his platform with specific economic and social proposals. To stimulate job creation and economic movement, he has proposed eliminating ICMS taxes for micro and small enterprises until 2033, noting that these businesses provide seven out of ten jobs in the state. His economic agenda also includes restoring state control over the Companhia Paranaense de Energia (Copel) to negotiate lower electricity tariffs, expanding technical assistance for small producers through IDR Paraná, and creating a State Project Bank to help municipalities secure funding.

In healthcare, Requião Filho’s ‘O Paraná que Cuida’ plan emphasizes regionalization and specialized access through the ‘Mais Especialidades’ program. A central component is the implementation of a single, digitalized queue (‘fila única’) within the Unified Health System (SUS) to manage consultations, exams, and surgeries. This system aims to increase transparency by allowing patients to track their status and expected service dates via mobile devices, while prioritizing care based on clinical urgency.
