2026 elections: Candidate promises health and safety reforms in Piauí

"Gratitude to the people of Piauí, wherever I went they welcomed me very well. We are satisfied with our purpose of seeking to carry our message and transform this state for the better. I think the government has to govern for everyone and not for some. I, in the first year of government, will reformulate all hospitals in 180 days. I will reactivate 54 ICUs to improve health, salaries, improve the salaries of teachers, doctors and military police and security. Regrettably, the Piauí has among the worst salaries in Brazil. These people need to earn well to be able to serve well", he commented.

The 2.7 million voters eligible to vote in Piauí will go to the polls this Sunday (4), in the first round of the 2026 elections. They will be able to choose between 323 candidacies approved by the Electoral Court for the positions of state deputy, federal deputy, senator, governor and president of the Republic. If necessary, the second round for president and governor will be held on October 25th.

Passengers and employees at Teresina Airport will be able to vote or justify their absence in the elections directly at the terminal during the first round. According to the airport administration, the structure was set up by the Regional Electoral Court of Piauí (TRE-PI) and will operate in the administrative area.
