Political parties have until 15 August 2022, to formally register their candidates.
Withdrawn candidacies •
Amarílio Macedo: Initially, the directory in Ceará of the
Always Forward federation (composed by the
Brazilian Social Democracy Party and
Cidadania), under the command of Chiquinho Feitosa, one of the alternate senators of
Tasso Jereissati, held a convention that defined the neutrality of the federation in the gubernatorial and senatorial elections. However, the federation's national directory, influenced by Jereissati, who obtained control of the state directory, intervened in the decision and launched the senate candidacy of the businessman Amarílio Macêdo in the
From the People, By the People and For the People coalition, an alliance that also supported Roberto Cláudio's candidacy for the state government, with Dr. Cabeto and Regis as the nominees for alternate senators. But later, the
Superior Electoral Court of Brazil suspended the resolution that approved Macêdo's name in the ticket, reinstating the previous decision and returning the command of the directory to Feitosa, implying the exclusion of the Always Forward federation from the coalition. •
Nurse Ana Paula: She had her candidacy for the Senate announced by the
Democratic Labour Party to replace the candidacy of Amarílio Macêdo if he could not represent the coalition, but she chose to withdraw to run for the federal deputy, and Érika Amorim was chosen as a candidate by Roberto Cláudio's campaign. •
Paulo Anacé: He had his candidacy for the Senate announced, but resigned due to the decision of the PSOL REDE Federation to support Camilo Santana's candidacy. With that, he decided to run in the dispute for the position of federal deputy for Ceará. ==Legislative Assembly==
