**The Rio Grande do Norte Senate race for the second seat remains highly competitive because multiple candidates draw comparable support in consolidated first- and second-preference polling, with Styvenson Valentim (Podemos) usually leading overall while Zenaide Maia (PSD), Samanda Alves (PT), Rafael Motta (PDT), and Coronel Hélio (PL) cluster closely behind.** Recent July 2026 AtlasIntel data showed Valentim at 21.4% in summed votes, followed by Alves (18.2%), Hélio (15.3%), Motta (14.4%), and Maia (11.2%), with large shares of undecided or blank ballots. Earlier Exatus and Agorasei surveys similarly placed Maia or Alves in contention for second while revealing fluid second-preference flows. Voters select two senators, so positioning depends on how preferences split between first and second choices, party coalitions, and turnout patterns across regions. High indecision and the official campaign period (opened mid-August) have kept probabilities balanced, reflected in trader pricing that assigns Maia the clearest edge for second place while leaving room for others. Further separation could occur from stronger TV/radio exposure, coalition endorsements, or shifts tied to the concurrent gubernatorial contest before the October vote.
