Celina Leão (PP), the current governor who assumed office in March 2026 following Ibaneis Rocha’s resignation, leads the Federal District gubernatorial race as the clear frontrunner. Recent polling from late August shows her at 30–34% in first-round scenarios, ahead of José Roberto Arruda (PSD) at 20–28% and Leandro Grass (PT) at 10–13%, with other candidates fragmented below 4%. Her position stems from center-right party alliances, including PP and União Brasil backing plus reported support from figures aligned with Michelle Bolsonaro, combined with incumbency advantages in a field where no opponent has consolidated significant alternative support. Trader consensus at 75.5% for Leão versus 19.2% for Arruda and under 3% for remaining names reflects these polling trends and structural factors heading into the October election.
