Brazilian political party funding and congress shifts

Overview

The 2026 elections have significantly reshaped the Brazilian Congress for the 2027–2030 legislature. The Liberal Party (PL) emerged as the dominant force, securing 121 seats in the Chamber of Deputies and a projected 28 seats in the Senate, making it the largest party in both houses since 1988.

This new composition creates a complex landscape for the presidency. A re-elected Lula would face a right-leaning Senate, while a Flávio Bolsonaro presidency would benefit from a strong right-wing base but would still need to manage coalitions with parties such as União-PP and PSD to achieve majorities.

Key legislative priorities for the upcoming term include discussions on implementing Tax Reform, potential changes to the functions of the Supreme Federal Court (STF), and proposals to end presidential re-election. Additionally, environmental studies indicate that a majority of the new legislators show low convergence with environmental and climate protection agendas.
