Raquel Lyra reelected Women lead Pernambuco

Oct 4

The PREF TV package carried by TV Brasil reports Raquel Lyra and Priscila Krause's first-round reelection in Pernambuco, giving Lyra 53.7% against João Campos's 44.82%. It recalls close pre-election polling and presents the result as a historic first-round victory for a governor and deputy governor who are both women. Lyra thanks voters, credits her administration's work and promises continued effort. Krause describes reelection as continuity of the 2022 choice and a new culture of women's political participation. The percentage is this package's stated figure, not silently replaced with the different figure in the preceding national roundup.

Raquel Lyra and deputy governor Priscila Krause are reelected in Pernambuco in the October 4 first round, defeating João Campos. TV Brasil's national roundup gives Lyra 53.27% and Campos about 44.8%; its separate regional package gives 53.7% and 44.82%. These differing source figures are retained rather than reconciled. Lyra credits her administration's work and promises continued effort; Krause describes the result as continuity of the 2022 choice and a new culture of women's political participation. The regional report calls this a historic first-round election of a governor and deputy governor who are both women.
