A drawing made by the former president of House Arthur Lira (PP-AL) established that the CCJ, in 2025, should be under the command of União Brasil or MDB. In 2023, the board was chaired by Rui Falcão (SP), from PT, and last year by Caroline de Toni (SC), from PL.
The MDB, however, gave up the CCJ to keep the 2026 budget rapporteur. The rapporteur of the play will be responsible for defining the chords of the Electoral Fund for the 2026 campaign. The President of the Joint Budget Commission (CMO), in turn, must be Senate and PL. The expectation in Congress is that the name indicated is that of Senator Wilder Morais (GO).
PL and PP, however, entered the dispute for the CCJ, wanting to break the agreement made by the former mayor. Former President Jair Bolsonaro (PL )’s party intends to maintain control of the board for having the largest bench in the house, with 92 deputies. The PP, in turn, wants to avoid ostracism after Lira’s departure from the presidency.

‘Plano B’
The PL works with a “plan B” if Eduardo’s nomination does not resist the pressure of the ruling base. If this happens, the party should indicate Deputy Luiz Philippe of Orleans and Bragança (SP), a parliamentarian known for being a tetraneto of d. Pedro II (1825-1891), last emperor of Brazil.

The PL also fights with the PT for the command of the Health Commission, which is currently chaired by Dr. Francisco (PT-PI). The reason for the greed by the collegiate is in parliamentary amendments, since in 2024 he had a slice of $ 4.5 billion from the budget.
The PT, which has the second largest bench in the Chamber, with 80 deputies in the Brazil Federation of Hope -with the PV and PCdoB -prioritizes the control of the Education Commission if it loses health to the PL. Another strategy is to win the Inspection and Control Commission (CFFC).
