He states that the national leadership intended to establish an alliance with the PT in Rondônia, while the state leadership defended its own candidacy.

Understand Candidate registration requests for names linked to the PSB in Rondônia, such as Samuel Costa, Sergeant Machado and Neidinha Suruí, remain available in the Divulgacand system, of the Superior Electoral Court (TSE). On social media, Neidinha Suruí stated that she continues to consider herself a candidate and that she intends to appeal the decision of the National Executive to try to maintain the candidacies and the previous command of the party in Rondônia. She also classified the dismissal as violence against a woman and activist who works in defense of human rights and the environment. "We, Rondônia residents, do not accept, under any circumstances, that someone from another state comes to Rondônia to want to lead our party. We are open to dialogue, but we do not accept this imposition", declared Neidinha in a video published on social media. Also in a video released on social media, Samuel Costa stated that the decision was taken unilaterally by the party's national president. According to him, the measure was arbitrary and disrespected the right to defense and contradictory proceedings. "I want to tell the population of Rondônia that we will remain firm in the campaign. As Democrats, we will maintain the candidacy to offer another option to voters in Rondônia", said Samuel Costa.
