Augusto Cury announces his departure from politics after the 1st round of the 2026 elections

'I will not continue in politics'

Candidate for President of the Republic, Augusto Cury (Avante) held a press conference on Sunday night (4) in Ribeirão Preto (SP) to comment on the result of the 1st round of the 2026 elections and said that he does not intend to continue in politics. He also preferred not to comment on possible support for Flávio Bolsonaro (PL) or Lula (PT) in the second round.

"Today I am clear within myself, 100% convinced, that I will not continue in politics. Nobody knows tomorrow, but I tend not to change my mind when I have a strong conviction, especially because we have several projects," he said.

Tarcísio re-elected

It is the fourth time that a São Paulo governor has been elected in the 1st round since the adoption of the two-round system in 1990. In 2022, he also defeated Haddad, but in the 2nd round. Until this Sunday, all governors elected for the first time were from the PSDB: José Serra in 2006 and Geraldo Alckmin in the 2010 and 2014 elections. Tarcísio is the first from another party to achieve the feat.

'High level clash'

After the defeat to Tarcísio de Freitas (Republicans) in the dispute for the governor of São Paulo, Fernando Haddad (PT) stated this Sunday (4) that he had a "high-level clash" during the campaign and wished "the best" for the state. The PT member also said that he intends to act as an opposition "in the most constructive way possible" to improve the population's living conditions. Read the g1 report.

The scene in Sorocaba

In Sorocaba, the counting of 1,664 ballot boxes ended around 7:30 pm. For president, more than 222 thousand Sorocabans voted for Flávio Bolsonaro (PL). Lula (PT) received 129,576 votes.

For the Senate, the most voted was Guilherme Derrite (PP), from Sorocaba, with more than 233 thousand votes. The second most voted was André do Prado, with more than 212 thousand votes.

For Federal Deputy, the most voted was Lucas Pavanato (PL), followed by Erika Hilton (PSOL).

⚠️ Voting in the city alone does not define who will be elected.

The election for Federal Deputy and State Deputy follows the proportional system: seats are distributed among parties and federations according to the total vote across the state and then filled by the candidates with the most votes from each party. Therefore, the definition of those elected depends on the total number of votes throughout the state of São Paulo.

Scared when voting

The Electoral Court is investigating the case of a voter who went to vote in Jundiaí (SP), but was informed that her vote had already been counted. The incident was recorded in section 146 of zone 281, at the Maria de Lourdes school, in Jardim Pacaembu. According to the system and proof of voting, the person had already voted, which they deny. The Regional Electoral Court (TRE) reported that the situation recorded in the minutes is being investigated so that the appropriate measures can be taken.
