“It will happen ahead,” said Governor of Paraná about negotiations of a single plate for Planalto in 2026
The governor of Paraná, Ratinho Jr. (PSD) signaled on Monday (28.abr.br.2025) that right parties will discuss a possible single candidacy for the presidential dispute in 2026. He denied, however, that the subject is at the discussion table with other opposition governors to the government Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT).
“This is the discussion that will happen ahead. It is a discussion that the parties will have internally. Those who can join… will happen”, Said Ratinho Jr., when participating in Agrishow, in Ribeirão Preto (SP).
Watch (1min24s):
With the visit to the city of São Paulo, Ratinho Jr. increased the list of potential candidates for the Planalto Palace present at the largest agribusiness event in Latin America, which in previous years had Jair Bolsonaro (PL) as a prominent figure-this 30th edition, which runs until Friday (2.MAI), the former president will not attend because he is hospitalized due to surgery, resulting from sequelae that suffered sufferers in the 2018 election campaign.
On Sunday (27.abr), Agrishow had an event for authorities, in which participated the vice president Geraldo Alckmin (PSB). He was the only representative of the Lula administration. The Minister of Agriculture, Carlos Fávaro, for example, was not, claiming schedule problems. On the same day, the governor of Goiás, Ronaldo Caiado (União Brasil), and the governor of Minas Gerais, Romeu Zema (Novo) attended the governor (União). On Tuesday (29.abr), the organizers expect the visit of the governor of São Paulo, Tarcísio de Freitas (Republicans).
The PSD of the Governor of Paraná, União Brasil of the Governor of Goiás and the Republicans of the Governor of São Paulo have ministers in the current government. Despite the positions, Ratinho Jr., Caiado and Tarcisio, besides Zema, are pointed as potential candidates to the Plateau in 2026 in the field of opposition. And the idea of a unique candidacy has been avoided. All seek Bolsonaro’s estate, which is ineligible for using the public machine to spread misinformation on the electronic ballot boxes.
“I want to help Brazil have a modernization project of the country. If my name is chosen by the party, we will evaluate with love”Said Ratinho Jr. at Agrishow. He stated that the idea of a union aimed at 2026 is something to materialize later.”What exists [agora] It is the governors who think similar”.
