PSD nominates Ronaldo Caiado for Brazil's 2026 presidential race with Gilberto Kassab as running mate

On 26 July 2026 the Partido Social Democrático (PSD) formally nominated former Goiás governor Ronaldo Caiado as its candidate for the Brazilian presidential election. The party’s national president, Gilberto Kassab, was confirmed as the vice‑presidential candidate on the same ticket. Caiado pledged to implement a “new model of government” and announced several policy proposals, including the confiscation of assets belonging to men convicted of violence against women and the transfer of those assets to victims. He also declared he would grant an indulto (amnesty) to former president Jair Bolsonaro if elected, saying it would help pacify the country. The candidacy marks Caiado’s second bid for the presidency; he first ran in 1989, receiving less than 1 % of the vote. The PSD has not yet announced any coalition partners for the election.
