Ronaldo Caiado launches 2026 presidential bid with PSD

Overview

Ronaldo Caiado has officially launched his 2026 presidential campaign as the candidate for the PSD, selecting Gilberto Kassab as his running mate.

During a campaign tour in São Paulo, Caiado announced a significant policy reversal regarding labor reform; while he previously suggested a five-by-two workweek contingent on employer consultation, he now explicitly supports a constitutional amendment to end the 6x1 work schedule.

His economic platform remains centered on fiscal austerity to achieve a 6% interest rate and inflation between 3% and 4%. On social policy, he reiterated his commitment to maintaining the Bolsa Família program.

Caiado also introduced more aggressive security proposals, including the classification of criminal factions as ‘domestic terrorism’ and a pledge to construct 40 maximum-security prisons. He continues to criticize political opponents who avoid debates, labeling them ‘fujões’ (runaways).
