Mailza Assis and Alan Rick Head to Runoff in Acre

The Oct. 25 runoff will test shifting local alliances as both candidates court supporters of eliminated rivals and balance ties to the Bolsonarista political field.

Overview

  • The first-round vote on Oct. 4 left incumbent Mailza Assis (PP) narrowly short of an outright win with about 49.76% of valid votes, while Senator Alan Rick (Republicanos) finished second with roughly 32.26%.
  • Because no candidate passed the 50% plus one threshold required to win outright, the two frontrunners will meet again in a second round scheduled for Oct. 25.
  • Alan Rick has publicly pledged to seek new alliances and outreach to opposition forces to close the roughly 15-point gap he faces from the first round.
  • Mailza has positioned her campaign on continuity, relying on a broad local coalition that includes MDB, União Brasil and PL and plans intensified campaigning in municipalities to expand her lead.
  • Third-place finisher Tião Bocalom (PSDB), who won about 10.22% of valid votes, represents the most immediate pool of transferable support and could decide the runoff outcome as both campaigns pursue endorsements.
