Brazil Novo Party 2026 Election Campaign

Entities: Ricardo Ferraço · Marcel Van Hattem · Joaquim Barbosa · Romeu Zema · Novo (political party)

Overview

In late July 2026 the Novo party formalised its presidential ticket by nominating former Minas Gerais governor Romeu Zema as its candidate for the 2026 Brazilian presidential election. Zema’s campaign emphasised a clean‑record image and outlined a forthcoming choice of a vice‑presidential running mate.

A few days later the party’s broader electoral slate was confirmed at a convention in Porto Alegre. Federal deputy Marcel Van Hattem was named the party’s Senate candidate for Rio Grande do Sul, and 29 candidates for the Chamber of Deputies and 40 for state legislatures were ratified. Zema attended the event, pledging an “ethical and moral shock” to the federal government and signalling Novo’s aim to expand its right‑wing presence in Congress.

Together the snapshots show Novo consolidating its leadership choices and expanding its candidate list as it prepares for the 2026 national elections.
