The governor of Mato Grosso do Sul (Portuguese: Governador do Mato Grosso do Sul) is the head of government of the Brazilian state of Mato Grosso do Sul. The governor directs the executive branch and is the commander-in-chief of the armed forms of the state.
It is a public position chosen through the two-round majority electoral system. If a candidate receives more than 50% of the total votes in the first ballot, he is elected without the need for a second round. But if no candidate obtains an absolute majority, a second round of voting would take place, where only the two candidates who obtained the most votes in the first round would participate. The winner of the second round would be elected governor. The legislature lasts 4 years and the governor has the right to re-election, without term limits.
The state was created by Complementary Law No. 31, sanctioned on October 11, 1977. The current governor of Mato Grosso do Sul is Eduardo Riedel, elected on October 30, 2014 and sworn into office on January 1, 2023.[1]
The colors indicate how each governor was elected, with directly elected governors, governors who came to government through the line of succession (for example, when a vice governor assumes the position of governor, or when a president of the Legislative Assembly assumes the government if there is no lieutenant governor), and governors elected by indirect suffrage or sworn in through revolutionary movements, including those who took over as legal substitutes not directly elected.
