After three and a half years in office, the former governor of Amazonas, Wilson Lima (União Brasil), fully fulfilled 13 of the 28 promises made during the re-election campaign in 2022, according to a survey by g1. The Politicians' Promises project, by g1, monitors the fulfillment of commitments made by candidates for mayors, state governments and the Presidency of the Republic. However, Lima and his vice-president, Tadeu de Souza (Progressistas), resigned in April to run for other positions. With the simultaneous vacancy of positions, command of the state Executive was assumed by the then president of the Legislative Assembly of Amazonas (Aleam), Roberto Cidade. In May 2026, Cidade was appointed governor after being elected in an indirect election process. Wilson Lima is a pre-candidate for the Senate, and Tadeu de Souza will seek a seat in the Chamber of Deputies.
