Maranhão bolsonarist ticket solidified for 2026 state election

Federal deputy Allan Garcês (PP) declared his support for Eduardo Braide (PSD) as pre‑candidate for governor of Maranhão, Lahésio Bonfim (Novo) as pre‑candidate for the Senate, and Flávio Bolsonaro for the presidency, saying the alliance will strengthen the right‑wing field in the state ahead of the 2026 elections.

Senator Eliziane Gama (PT) posted on X that the opposition ticket is now clearly bolsonarist, noting the inclusion of Braide, André Fufuca (PP) and Lahésio Bonfim for the Senate, Elaine Carneiro as vice‑governor, and Flávio Bolsonaro as a presidential candidate, signaling a unified conservative front in Maranhão.
