The Brazilian Socialist Party (PSB) in Rondônia entered a period of internal conflict after the party’s National Executive ordered an intervention to dissolve the state directorate. This move removed Vinicius Miguel from his position as state president.

Miguel and gubernatorial candidate Samuel Costa challenged the decision, with Costa describing the intervention as a ‘tentativa de golpe’ (attempted coup) that threatened various legislative and senatorial candidacies. Miguel’s legal team sought to suspend the resolution, arguing the national body acted illegally.

Following these leadership disputes, Samuel Costa transitioned to presenting his campaign platform. His proposals included improving working conditions for public servants and constructing a State Hospital for the Elderly to provide specialized multidisciplinary care for the region’s aging population.
