Eduardo Riedel secured re-election as Mato Grosso do Sul governor on October 4 in the first round, capturing roughly 67% of valid votes according to Tribunal Superior Eleitoral tallies, well ahead of Fábio Trad and the remaining field. This outcome aligned with consistent polling leads, including a late September survey showing him at 51%, and reflected his broad multi-party coalition, incumbency record since 2023, and support from agricultural and business sectors. Trader consensus at 99.6% for Riedel incorporates these confirmed results, with minimal room for shifts absent narrow procedural disputes, vote audits, or unforeseen legal challenges that have not materialized in the immediate aftermath.
