Sources: 43. Developments: 4. The gubernatorial race in Amazonas remains highly competitive as the October 4, 2026, election approaches. Recent polling from the Pontual Institute continues to indicate a technical tie between Omar Aziz (PSD) and Roberto Cidade (União Brasil), with Aziz at 29.5% and Cidade at 26.9%. In the capital of Manaus, the contest is nearly even, with Cidade holding 24.1% and Aziz at 24%. However, Aziz maintains a stronger presence in the state's interior, holding 35.6% compared to Cidade's 30%. Other candidates include Professora Maria do Carmo (PL) at 18% and David Almeida (Avante) at 14.5%. Newer polling data confirms this tight contest as part of a broader trend of competitive regional races across Brazil. In Amazonas, the race remains focused on the primary contenders, while candidate Isael Munduruku (Rede) has introduced a platform centered on environmental protection and the forest economy. In addition to his previously outlined education platform—which includes full-time schooling and a ‘Digital After-School’ program—Aziz has introduced a comprehensive housing initiative titled ‘Programa Amazonas Habitação’. This plan focuses on integrating new constructions with basic sanitation, land regularization, and infrastructure tailored to local geography. To address logistical cost disparities, Aziz intends to direct at least 35% of the program's resources to the state's 61 interior municipalities. Broader regional polling for the 2026 Brazilian elections confirms Aziz’s lead over Cidade in Amazonas, while also noting active federal legislative campaigns in the state involving candidates such as Anne Moura and Débora Mafra. ## Claims - In the Bahia gubernatorial race, Jerônimo Rodrigues leads ACM Neto with 49% to 45.9% in valid votes.
