Lula has the biggest vote in Piraporinha and Grajaú and maintains strength in the outskirts of the capital; Flávio has the most votes in Tatuapé

In addition to the peripheral regions of the South Zone and East Zone, the PT member had the third highest vote in Bela Vista, in the center of São Paulo. The PL candidate was also well voted in Mooca and Jardim Paulista.

The re-elected president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) had his best results in the second round of the 2026 elections in electoral zones on the outskirts of the city of São Paulo, mainly in the South Zone, but also in areas of the East Zone and the expanded Center. Flávio Bolsonaro (PL) recorded his highest percentages in neighborhoods such as Tatuapé, Indianópolis, Mooca and Jardim Paulista.

Lula's highest percentage was recorded in the 372nd Electoral Zone (ZE), in Piraporinha, where he received 67.01% of valid votes. Next comes Grajaú, also in the South Zone, with 66.91%; Bela Vista, in the central region, with 66.66%; Vale Velho, with 66.37%; Cidade Tiradentes, in the East Zone, with 66.18%; and Parelheiros, in the extreme south, with 65.82%.

The result reinforces the PT's strength in peripheral regions of the capital. Among the ten electoral zones in which Lula had his highest percentages, there are also Capão Redondo (63.69%), São Mateus (61.33%), Guaianases (61.17%) and Campo Limpo (60.82%).

Lula won in 43 of the 57 electoral zones analyzed in the second round, eight more than in the first. It reversed results in areas such as Casa Verde, Saúde, Pirituba, Jaçanã, Sapopemba, Cangaíba, Ponte Rasa and Lauzane Paulista. There was no electoral zone won by Lula in the first round that went to Flávio in the second.

Flávio Bolsonaro's highest percentage was recorded in the 253rd ZE, in Tatuapé, in the East Zone, where he obtained 58.53% of the valid votes. The result expanded the advantage it had already achieved in the first round, when it had 53.51% in the region.

Next come Indianópolis, with 57.88%; Mooca, with 57.18%; Santana, with 56.08%; Jardim Paulista, with 55.09%; and Vila Formosa, with 54.86%.

Other significant results from the PL candidate were recorded in Santo Amaro (54.18%), Vila Maria (53.65%), Vila Prudente (53.41%) and Vila Sabrina (51.88%).

Flávio ended the second round with victory in 14 of the 57 electoral zones analyzed, eight fewer than in the first round, when he had won in 22.

Despite Lula's advantage in the general result in the capital, some electoral areas had close disputes in the second round.

In the 347th ZE, in Vila Matilde, Flávio won by just 0.26 percentage points: 50.13% against 49.87% for Lula. In Pirituba, the PT member won by 0.30 points, with 50.15% against 49.85% for his opponent.

In Tucuruvi, Flávio had an advantage of 1.36 percentage points, while in Lapa he won by 1.78 points. In Penha de França, the PL candidate also won, by a difference of 2.40 percentage points.

In the first round, Lula had already won in the capital of São Paulo, with 46.58% of the valid votes, against 42.13% for Flávio. The PT member had won 35 electoral zones, while his opponent had won 22.

At that stage of the vote, Lula's highest percentages also appeared in peripheral areas, such as Piraporinha, Cidade Tiradentes, Parelheiros, Vale Velho and Capão Redondo. Bela Vista, in the Center, was another exception to the territorial pattern, with 60.58% for the PT member.

Flávio, in turn, had already presented his best results in Tatuapé and Mooca, in addition to having won in areas such as Indianópolis, Santana, Jardim Paulista and Santo Amaro.

The comparison between the rounds shows that the two candidates increased their votes in areas where they already had strength. The main difference was territorial: Lula also advanced over eight electoral zones won by Flávio in the first round, while the PL candidate failed to win any of the zones that had been won by the PT member.
