The Bahia gubernatorial election was held on 5 October 2014 to elect the next governor of the state of Bahia. If no candidate receives more than 50% of the vote, a second-round runoff election will be held on 26 October. Governor Jaques Wagner is ineligible to run due to term limits (eight years). In a stunning upset, the PT nominee Rui Costa won the election with 54.5% of valid votes against 37.3% of Paulo Souto in the first-round. http://g1.globo.com/bahia/eleicoes/2014/noticia/2014/10/rui-costa-do-pt-e-eleito-governador-da-bahia.html
