Farah Mosque (Solidarity): 0.06%
Clebio Genuino (PCO): 0.02%
Election to governor is defined in the first round when a nomination gets more than half of the valid votes. With the result, there will be no second round for the government of Roraima.
Who is the new governor
Arthur Henrique (PL) is 45 years old and native of Boa Vista (RR).
He was deputy mayor and municipal secretary of the capital before being elected mayor in 2020 and re-elected in 2024. He resigned from the city hall in April 2026 to dispute the government of Roraima.
In the supplementary election held in June, his plate was the most voted, with 60.87% of the valid votes. However, the application was contested for non-compliance with the decompatibility deadline and the result was not definitively proclaimed by Justiça Eleitoral.
The supplementary election was held after TSE's cassation of the mandate of former governor Edilson Damião, who took over the post of Antonio Denarium after he resigned from the post. The plate was convicted in the TSE for abuse of political and economic power in the 2022 elections.
The vote for governor took place simultaneously with the election for president, senator and federal, state or district deputies (in the case of the Federal District).
