Election to the government

Santana's candidature for the government of Ceará was made official on 29 June in Fortaleza, during collective agreement of PROS, PT and other parties allied with the coalition led by the governor Cid Gomes. The convention was marked, however, by uncertainty about the indications to Senator and Vice-Governor of the coalition. Santana had previously been considered for the top post of the state executive, but did not include the list of favorites for the position, dominated by PROS members.

Santana was elected governor of Ceará on 26 October 2014. His victory was given as mathematically certain even before the official confirmation by the Superior Electoral Court.

Political future

Santana, a member of the Workers' Party, chose to endorse Ciro Gomes (PDT), himself a former Governor of Ceará, over Fernando Haddad, a fellow member of his party, in the 2018 Brazilian presidential election.[2]
