Mailza Assis (PP), the incumbent governor who assumed office in April 2026 after Gladson Cameli’s departure to pursue a Senate seat, secured 49.76% of valid votes in the October 4 first round, advancing to the October 25 runoff against Alan Rick (Republicanos) at 32.27%. She carried 19 of 22 municipalities, including the capital Rio Branco, reflecting strong backing from her Avança Acre coalition and continuity messaging on health, infrastructure, and economic development. Other candidates, including Tião Bocalom (PSDB) and Thor Dantas (PSB), trailed far behind and split remaining support. Trader consensus reflects her commanding first-round margin and structural advantages heading into the runoff, though shifts in voter consolidation, turnout patterns, or late campaign developments could still influence the final outcome.
