The vacancy of vice president in the probable candidacy for the reelection of (PT) in 2026, which was once a backstage dispute between center and right parties, lost value and the successive crises faced by federal management.
Even petistas recognize that the pressure of allies has decreased in relation to the post today occupied by ().
Nevertheless, wings say they have not discarded the vacancy if some variables present themselves. Among them, Lula’s recover part of the popularity and prove to be a favorite. Another, case () insist on sponsoring a family member as a candidate for his field.
In the MDB, the names of the governor of Pará, Helder Barbalho, and the ministers Renan Filho (transport) and Simone Tebet (planning) are remembered.
An obstacle, however, is the fact that party sectors oppose this alliance, including names such as the mayor of, and the former president-even around a single presidential candidacy in 2026.
The party will only take any formal definition about the direction of party convention next year.
MDB members heard by Sheet They point out that if the conditions are placed, the vice’s offer will be decisive to try to approve in the convention the formal support of the subtitle.
The emedebists deny, however, that this is under discussion at this time. The party negotiates a federation with Republicans of. The governor of Sao Paulo is quoted to be the rival in the dispute with Lula in 2026, but not necessarily for the current party.
Publicly, government members also deny that there is any discussion at this time about the vacancy of vice, and praise Alckmin and his conduct in the government.
“Say the respect I have for Vice President Alckmin, he is an excellent deputy and I think he will remain an excellent vice. We have no discussion yet about the composition of plates and assembly,” he told Sheet Minister Gleisi Hoffmann (Secretariat of Institutional Relations) in an interview earlier this month.
There is an assessment between government members that Lula’s chance is remote to endorse any change in this configuration, precisely by the personal relationship he developed with Alckmin.
This scenario could be discussed, however, if there was a movement for Alckmin to compete for other elective positions in 2026, including the São Paulo government or the Senate-cadances considered remote by an ally of the vice president.
In addition to wings of the MDB, there is no significant interest in any other center and center-right acronym that formally integrates the government to compose the presidential plate.
Some time ago the PSD also implied interest in the vacancy, but currently the party president, Gilberto Kassab, publicly states that the party will have its own candidate. In addition, the leader is in the government of Tarcisio and says he will be next to the governor in 2026.
With the low popularity of management, members of Republicans, PP and União Brasil, the other parties of Lula’s alliance outside the left, flirt with their own candidacies, or signal with an alliance of the right field. .
Given this scenario, petistas and members of the Planalto Palace, without formally supporting the opposing field.
An exception in this regard was a statement in March this year of Minister Celso Sabino (Tourism), federal deputy licensed by União Brasil do Pará, that he will work to indicate a representative for the deputy on Lula’s plate.
In an interview with CNN, Sabino said that would be the “ideal scenario.” Wanted, he said via the press office that he reaffirms that purpose.
União Brasil, however, is the most unfaithful party of the quintet combined with Lula, is in the process of completing a federation with the PP in opposition rhythm and even led Minister Fernando Haddad (farm).
