Overview

Following the 2026 elections, political leaders in Paraíba have focused on mobilizing support for President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Local representatives, including Councilwoman Valéria Aragão, emphasized economic growth and social vulnerability programs to strengthen the president’s position. State Deputy Francisca Motta addressed the Legislative Assembly to review election results, noting that allies surpassed one million votes in the state. She highlighted the success of Hugo Motta, Nabor Wanderley, and Olívia Motta, noting that the latter achieved the highest vote count for a woman in the history of the state legislature.
