Omar Aziz (PSD) holds a commanding position in the Amazonas governor race following the October 4 first-round vote, where he captured roughly 40.6% of valid ballots and carried 53 of 62 municipalities, particularly strong interior strongholds. This performance advanced him to the October 25 runoff against Professora Maria do Carmo (PL), who secured second place with 24.5% after edging out incumbent Roberto Cidade. Aziz benefits from prior executive experience, a broad coalition including PSD, MDB, and Republicanos allies, and consistent polling leads in the weeks before the first round. Traders assign him an 86% implied probability of victory, reflecting his structural advantages in turnout patterns and name recognition ahead of the decisive second round.
