Allyson Bezerra, the mayor of Mossoró, has officially announced his candidacy for the governorship of Rio Grande do Norte during a press conference held on Saturday in Natal. This announcement took place at an event attended by various political parties expected to form his coalition. Bezerra highlighted the importance of engaging with the public to understand their needs and proposed solutions to the ongoing issues facing the state.

Joining Bezerra in the race are former Natal mayor Álvaro Dias from the Republicans and the current Secretary of Finance, Cadu Xavier, representing the Workers' Party (PT). The growing interest from these political figures indicates a competitive electoral environment as they prepare for the 2026 elections. Each candidate brings their own platform and objectives aimed at addressing the challenges within the state.

The political landscape in Rio Grande do Norte is getting more complex as these pre-candidates outline their visions for the future of the state. The anticipation of this gubernatorial race is likely to heighten discussions around key issues, including economic recovery, infrastructure development, and social challenges. This election cycle will be significant in shaping the political future of the region and responding to the citizens' needs and aspirations.
