Brazil Lula‑Alckmin 2026 ticket

Entities: Partido dos Trabalhadores (PT) · Partido Socialista Brasileiro (PSB) · São Paulo · Brasília · Geraldo Alckmin

Overview

In early July 2026, former São Paulo governor Geraldo Alckmin was sworn in as Brazil’s vice president and also assumed the portfolio of development minister, cementing his role in President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s administration. Later that month, the Brazilian Socialist Party (PSB) formally endorsed Alckmin as Lula’s running mate for the 2026 presidential election, presenting the pair as the governing coalition’s chosen ticket and underscoring their commitment to democracy and political stability. At the PSB national convention in Brasília on July 29, party leaders reiterated this endorsement, with Lula and Alckmin highlighting their record of economic growth and social programmes and warning that candidates who reject democratic principles should not seek office. Lula also blamed former President Jair Bolsonaro for a large share of Brazil’s COVID‑19 deaths, labeling him a “homicide.”
