Evair de Melo secured second place in the Espírito Santo Senate election with roughly 983,000 votes (24.4%), trailing Renato Casagrande (PSB) by a narrow margin while finishing well ahead of Maguinha Malta (PL) and the rest of the field. Official results from the October 4 vote, with nearly all sections counted, confirm this ordering under the majoritarian system where voters select two senators. Pre-election polling showed a fragmented contest for the second slot among several contenders, yet de Melo’s campaign consolidated support to edge out rivals. Trader consensus at 100% reflects these verified tallies and the low likelihood of material changes from remaining procedural steps. Late recounts, formal challenges, or corrections in vote certification represent the primary scenarios that could still shift the final ranking.
