Even with the victories of (-AP) and (-PB) to the Presidencies of and House of Representatives given as certain, at least four senators and two federal deputies promise to run for positions on Saturday (1st).
In search of the spotlight the dispute provides, this group of extras is part of a tradition that has lasted two decades and includes names like Severino Cavalcanti (PP-PE), the only one to surprise and break the writing, and (), which has come to have zero vote in one of the four times it competed.
The votes on Saturday for the succession of the Senator (PSD-MG) and the deputy (PP-AL) are secret.
Alcolumbre tries to return to the presidency of the Senate with the largest score in history. To do this, it must exceed 76 votes received by Mauro Benevides in 1991 and José Sarney (MDB) in 2003 – a century considered difficult with four other names in the match.
In addition to, the election for Senate President may also have the participation of (Somos-MS), (Somos-ES) and Eduardo Girão (Novo-CE).
Alcolumbre has already commanded the Senate from 2019 to 2021 and has the support of 10 of the 12 parties with Senate representation:, PL, MDB, PT, União Brasil,, PSB, Republicans, PDT and PSDB.
We can see the bench crack at the two own candidacies. Soraya announced that he would run for office in March last year at an event alongside the party president, federal deputy Renata Abreu (SP), with the argument that there was never a woman in the presidential presidency. Almost a year later, the senator says her candidacy is maintained.
With those of the Supreme Court (STF) Alexandre de Moraes, Senator Marcos do Val also says he will compete.
“I follow as a candidate, even under censorship. My main flag is to curb the STF abuse and guide all the impeachment requests of the ministers, especially Minister Alexandre de Moraes,” says Val.
Single Senator of, Eduardo Girão says he does not feel represented by alcohubre. The senator claims to be working for society to press the senators to open the vote.
“I know that the game is very gross and that I also have the majority, it needs 41 votes. If we have this open vote movement, it will be difficult for alcohumbre because 2/3 of the Senate will seek reelection in 2026. Who will break down with voters? “He says.
In the 2023 election, Girão stated that he would run for the presidency of the house against Pacheco, but resigned after speaking as a candidate, announcing support to. This year, he says he goes to the end.
Already the PL and make it clear that the senator competes in a separate way. With the declared support to alcohumbre, the party won the.
“I think I have chances,” says Pontes, who cites among other reasons, the different look of those who have already climbed into space.
In the House, federal deputies Pastor Henrique Vieira (PSOL-RJ) and (Novo-RS) must mark a position against Hugo Motta, Lira candidate and who also has the support of a range of parties, from Lula PT to Bolsonaro PL .
“What moves me is a sense of urgency, alert. We are seeing the growth of the far right, with a policy of violent, prejudiced and authoritarian hatred, rescuing fascist and even Nazi devices,” says Henrique Vieira, the only one Left name in the dispute.
He also claims to review “the executive budget sequestration” through parliamentary amendments and boost a focus schedule, expanding the exemption from income tax up to R $ 5,000 and the taxation of large fortunes.
Van Hattem said his candidacy serves to give an alternative to the opposition and try to force a second round. “The repercussion, especially outside the House environment, on social networks, has been spectacular, which gives me a great hope of also gaining the support of many opposition deputies.”
Until 1995 there was no record of candidacies launched to mark a position, with no chance of victory. That year, José Genoino (PT-SP) inaugurated the lode by competing against favorite Luis Eduardo Magalhães (PFL-BA) and losing 384 votes to 85.
In 2005, in Lula’s first term, the House housed the most surprising election in history.
The PT cracked, and the official candidate, Luiz Eduardo Greenhalgh (PT-SP), was challenged by Virgílio Guimarães (PT-MG). Open the ballot boxes, Greenhalgh was first, with 207 votes, number that forced a second round. By 7 votes difference, Virgil was left out when surpassed by the folkloric Severino Cavalcanti —124 to 117 votes.
In the second round, a mass betrayal against the government eventually elected the so -called “king of the low clergy”, which was in office only seven months – he.
The “extras” that most vied for the presidency of one of the two houses were Chico Alencar (PSOL-RJ) and Bolsonaro, four times each.
Bolsonaro never had more than 9 votes from his colleagues. In 2005 there was not his.
At the time, he took the moment just to criticize the PT in his speech and indicate that he would vote for another candidate, Ciro Nogueira (PP-PI)-who was third. The election was won by Aldo Rebelo (PC do B-SP), Lula’s ally at the time.
