Pernambuco Governor Lyra Re-elected, Stays Neutral in Presidential Runoff

Raquel Lyra (PSD) won re-election in Pernambuco with 53.2%, defeating João Campos (PSB), who was backed by President Lula. Lyra announced she will remain neutral in the presidential runoff, consistent with the national PSD's stance of not endorsing either Lula or Flávio Bolsonaro. This reinforces the PSD's independent positioning and could influence regional political dynamics in the second round.
