Brazilian legislative election endorsements

Overview

Political candidates and parties in Brazil continue to shape their strategies for the 2026 elections through endorsements, party expansion, and legal challenges.

In Acre, former minister Aldo Rebelo has endorsed Pedro Longo’s bid for the Chamber of Deputies, highlighting Longo’s focus on the economic development of the Amazon through agriculture and livestock. Rebelo has also extended support to Afonso Fernandes, citing his defense of regional industries against international NGOs.

In Goiás, the political landscape has shifted as federal deputy Jeferson Rodrigues withdrew his re-election bid to support Felipe Cecílio’s campaign. Additionally, PSB leaders Tales de Castro and Elias Vaz have declared support for Governor Daniel Vilela’s reelection, despite their national alignment with President Lula.

Strategic party investments remain a key factor. The Novo party is moving forward with plans to triple its candidate count and invest over R$ 70 million. This marks the first general election where the party will utilize public resources, such as the Party Fund and free television advertising. However, in Mato Grosso, a financial impasse regarding the transfer of electoral funds has created tension within the alliance between Novo and the Liberal Party (PL).

In Ceará, candidates Ciro Gomes and Elmano de Freitas are employing distinct strategies, with Elmano leveraging Lula’s popularity and Ciro building a multi-party alliance. Meanwhile, street campaigns are intensifying in states like Rondônia and Maranhão. Legal and ethical scrutiny persists, including investigations in Santa Catarina and ongoing legal contests for candidates like Júlio Cezar in Alagoas.
