For the Federal Senate election, the seat occupied by the incumbent Simone Tebet (MDB) was at dispute. She was first elected as a senator in 2014 Mato Grosso do Sul state elections^[6] and decided to run for presidency in 2022 Brazilian general election.^[7] Tereza Cristina, the former Minister of Agriculture of Brazil under the Presidency of Jair Bolsonaro, was elected to replace Tebet as a senator for an eight-year term (2023–2031).^[8]
