The Maranhão gubernatorial election was held on 5 October 2014 to elect the next governor of the state of Maranhão in Brazil. If no candidate had received more than 50% of the vote, a second-round runoff election would have been held on 26 October.[1] Governor Roseana was ineligible to run due to term limits. Former Embratur President Dino, who lost to Sarney in 2010, won a landslide election against Senator Lobão Filho to become the sole Governor from one of the two Communist parties.[2]
