The Rio Grande do Sul gubernatorial election will be held on 5 October 2014 to elect the next Governor of the state of Rio Grande do Sul. If no candidate receives more than 50% of the vote, a second-round runoff election will be held on the 26th of October.[1]
Incumbent Governor Tarso Genro is running for a second term, a distinction not achieved in recent history. His main challengers are Senator Ana Amélia Lemos of the Progressive Party and former Mayor of Caxias do Sul José Ivo Sartori of the Brazilian Democratic Movement Party.
Opinion polls leading up to the first round had shown Genro with a comfortable lead over his primary rival Lemos and Sartori steadily gaining support. Eventually, it was Sartori who defied opinion polls and ended comfortably in first place. Genro finished in second to advance to the runoff while Lemos finished in a distant third.[2]
