PL and Republicanos win governorships in SP, MG, RJ, RS, controlling 46% of state revenues
Brazil's PL and Republicanos parties secured first-round gubernatorial victories in São Paulo, Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro, and Rio Grande do Sul, states that together account for 46% of total state revenues. This consolidates conservative control over key fiscal levers ahead of the 2026 national elections, potentially shaping federal-state fiscal dynamics. The PT's win in Bahia, the fourth-largest revenue state, provides a counterweight but does not offset the concentration of resources under the PL-Republicanos bloc.
