Senator Sergio Moro leads the race for governor of Paraná with approximately 39% of voter intentions in the first round [1].
This lead positions Moro as the frontrunner in a critical state election that will test the strength of his political coalition before the October 2026 vote.
According to the Genial/Quaest poll, Moro holds a commanding lead with support ranging from 38% to 39% [1, 3]. The data suggests a wide gap between the Senator and his nearest competitors as the campaign enters its final months.
Former governor Requião Filho follows in second place. Depending on the reporting source, his support is estimated between 18% and 19% [2, 3]. He remains the primary challenger to Moro's current momentum in the state.
Candidate Greca ranks third in the survey. He currently registers 12% support among voters [3]. This puts him significantly behind both Moro and Requião Filho in the race for the executive office.
"Sergio Moro lidera a corrida para o governo do Paraná com 39% das intenções de voto no primeiro turno," the Genial/Quaest poll stated via G1 – Globo [1].
The survey was conducted in the last week of April 2026 to gauge voter intentions [1]. While the data was released earlier this year, it continues to shape the strategic landscape for the candidates as they prepare for the general election.
"Requião Filho aparece em segundo lugar, acumulando 18% das intenções de voto," the poll results noted [2]. The disparity between the first and second-place candidates indicates a challenging path for the opposition to close the gap.
Greca's position completes the ranking of the top three candidates. "Greca registra 12% de apoio, completando o ranking dos três primeiros candidatos," the data indicated [3].
“Sergio Moro leads the race for governor of Paraná with approximately 39% of voter intentions.”
The current polling data suggests a polarized race where Sergio Moro has established a dominant early lead. If these trends hold, Moro may be positioned to win in the first round or enter a runoff with significant momentum. The wide margin between Moro and Requião Filho indicates that the opposition may need to form a strategic alliance or shift their platform to attract the undecided voters necessary to challenge the Senator's lead.
