Omar Aziz (PSD) advanced from the first round of the Amazonas gubernatorial election on October 4, 2026, with 40.63% of valid votes, securing a runoff matchup against Professora Maria do Carmo (PL) at 24.49%. Aziz won pluralities in 53 of 62 municipalities, drawing on his prior service as governor and senator plus a broad coalition including PSD, MDB, Republicanos, and PT-aligned parties. Maria do Carmo led in Manaus and a few other cities but trailed by a wide margin statewide. The October 25 runoff remains the decisive contest, with trader consensus pricing Aziz as the clear favorite based on first-round results, geographic reach, and institutional backing, while Maria do Carmo’s narrower base limits her implied path to victory. Other listed candidates received single-digit or negligible shares and were eliminated.
