Paraná Pesquisas publishes 1st electoral survey for the Municipality of Macapá

The Paraná Pesquisas institute released this Tuesday (18) the first electoral survey for the city of Macapá, capital of Amapá, with voting intentions for the 2024 municipal elections.

In the two scenarios determined, the current mayor Antônio Furlan (Podemos) would be re-elected in the first round with 66% of the votes ahead of both the current minister Waldez Góes (PDT), of Regional Development, and Josiel Alcolumbre (União Brasil), brother of Senator Davi Alcolumbre (União Brasil), who lost in the same dispute in 2020.
