João Azevêdo (PSB) holds the strongest position for first place in the Paraíba Senate race, as shown by consistent leads in recent polling averages ahead of the October 4 election. As the former governor who stepped down earlier this year to run, Azevêdo benefits from high name recognition and a broad coalition, drawing 28% combined support and up to 42% for the initial seat in Quaest surveys from mid-to-late September. Veneziano Vital do Rêgo (MDB), seeking reelection, trails in second while Nabor Wanderley (Republicanos) and Dr. Marcelo Queiroga (PL) compete for remaining spots amid a field of roughly ten registered candidates. Voter indecision remains elevated above 10-60% depending on the poll format, and each elector casts two votes for the state's two Senate seats. These patterns align with trader consensus reflected in current market pricing.
