Sergio Moro Wins Paraná Governorship in First Round

Overview

• Moro secured a first‑round victory on Sunday with 50.11% of valid votes as official tallies reached 99.87% complete.
• Sandro Alex, the candidate backed by Governor Ratinho Júnior, finished second with about 25.35% of the vote and Requião Filho received roughly 23.47%.
• Moro ran on a law‑and‑order, anti‑corruption platform tied to his Lava Jato profile and won support from PL, right‑leaning parties and figures including endorsements connected to the bolsonarist camp.
• Ratinho Júnior assembled a wide centrist coalition and added Rafael Greca as Sandro Alex’s running mate but increased attacks on Moro late in the campaign failed to shift the outcome.
• The result reshapes Paraná politics and could shift state policy and alliances with national implications, so observers will watch Moro’s transition team, cabinet picks, and relations with both PL and centrist parties.
