The fragmented field of 17 registered candidates for Minas Gerais’s two Senate seats, with campaigning underway since mid-August 2026, keeps second-place positioning highly uncertain among traders. Recent polls show Marília Campos (PT) ahead, trailed closely by Domingos Sávio (PL) and incumbent Carlos Viana (PSD), while Áurea Carolina (PSOL) and several others register single-digit support, producing a competitive spread without decisive separation. Official TSE registrations, party ticket finalizations, and the absence of major scandals or endorsements in the past month have sustained this balance, as no single contender has consolidated the center-right or progressive vote blocs enough to pull clear of the pack. Trader pricing at or near 50% for numerous names reflects this ongoing volatility, with late polling shifts, debate performances, or coalition adjustments in the remaining weeks before October 4 potentially clarifying the order.
