In the states of Ceará and Piauí, leaders organized events to support specific candidates and demonstrate alignment with state administrations. In Juazeiro do Norte, a march was held for candidates Sandrinha Cavalcante and Andrea Landim, while in Pedro II, organizers focused on youth engagement ahead of visits from state leadership. Further mobilization occurred in Rio Grande do Norte and Paraíba. In Santo Antônio, gubernatorial candidate Allyson Bezerra participated in a motorcycle procession and evening gathering to emphasize partnerships with municipal governments. Meanwhile, in Campina Grande, Governor Lucas Ribeiro engaged in neighborhood walks to strengthen political presence and assess voter sentiment. Recent developments in Rio Grande do Norte highlight both polling trends and legal scrutiny. A survey by Metadata/Grupo Dial indicates Lula leads the presidential race in the state with 54.9%, followed by Flávio Bolsonaro at 25.7%. In the gubernatorial race, Allyson Bezerra leads with 43%, ahead of Cadu de Lula at 20.1% and Álvaro Dias at 17.5%. The Senate race shows a technical tie between Styvenson Valentim and Zenaide when considering combined vote preferences. Concurrently, the Federal Police launched ‘Operação Sem Lastro’ in Natal to investigate potential electoral fraud and undeclared campaign funds. Authorities seized over R$ 1.5 million in cash, electronic devices, and documents. The investigation is examining suspicious cash withdrawals by a political agent to determine if they align with declared assets. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-13: Rio Grande do Norte politics: Poll updates and Federal Police operation New polls in Rio Grande do Norte show Lula leading the presidential race and Allyson Bezerra leading for Governor, while the Federal Police seize R$ 1.5 million in a campaign finance investigation. 7 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/political-leaders-hold-mobilization-events-in-northeast-brazil ### 2026-09-10: Political mobilizations reported in Juazeiro do Norte and Pedro II Political leaders in Brazil are conducting local mobilizations, including a candidate march in Juazeiro do Norte and a youth-focused political event in Pedro II to prepare for upcoming leadership visits. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/political-mobilizations-reported-in-juazeiro-do-norte-and-pedro-ii --- Cite as: Political mobilizations and investigations in Northeast Bra.
