**Celina Leão (PP), the incumbent governor who took office in March 2026 after Ibaneis Rocha’s resignation, leads the Distrito Federal gubernatorial race as the favorite in prediction markets.** Recent Datafolha polling (conducted August 18–21) shows her tied technically with José Roberto Arruda (PSD) at 30% to 28% in the first round, with Leandro Grass (PT) at 11% and remaining candidates in single digits. Traders price Leão highest due to her broad coalition support (including PP, União Brasil, PL, and MDB), early campaign momentum, and the pending electoral prosecution request to bar Arruda over prior improbity convictions that could render him ineligible through 2030. Arruda’s strong name recognition is offset by elevated rejection levels and legal uncertainty, while Grass and lower-polling names like Cappelli and Belmonte trail significantly. The October election timeline and any TRE-DF ruling on candidacy registration remain key variables that could shift implied probabilities.
