Kim Kataguiri (Mission-SP) announced your pre-candidacy for re-election as federal deputy this Saturday (20). Therefore, he should not be on the list of candidates for governor of São Paulo, as was being considered.
At a Missão party event in São Paulo, with excerpts published on YouTube, he stated that Want to be part of a ministry from your party colleague, Renan Santospre-candidate for President (who has around 3% of voting intentions in ).
“Here in the State of São Paulo, either we will have our own candidacy from the Missão party or we will not support anyone. That is our decision”, announced Kataguiri.
At another time, justified your choice in running for a third consecutive term as deputy. “I want to be governor of the State of São Paulo. But life is not about what we want, it’s about what we owe. We all have a mission. My mission now is to promote the biggest State reform in the country’s history”, he said.
Kim spoke at creation of a “transversal ministrywhich will cover planning, civil house, work and pensions” and, despite highlighting that he did not come into contact with any of those mentioned, he proposed an invitation for economists to be part of a potential ministry led by him in the future.
“I’m going to drink from the fountain of Marcos Lisboa, Samuel Pessoa, Zeina Latif, Mario Mesquita, Mansueto Almeida, Marcos Mendes, Elena Landau, the entire Plano Real team. The doors of the Renan Santos government are open to each one of you”, he declared.
Mission Party will have barrier clause as a challenge
Elected by União Brasil, Kim Kataguiri migrated to Missãoa party founded by members of the Movimento Brasil Livre (MBL), which gained notoriety during protests over the impeachment of Dilma Rousseff (PT) in the last decade. The acronym had its registration approved by the TSE and will contest his first election in 2026.
Given this, one of the party’s concerns will be the so-called “barrier clause”rule that defines a minimum vote performance for parties to achieve at each election to continue having access to the party fund, the electoral fund and electoral propaganda on radio and television.
Em 2026, the minimum percentage is 2.5% of the valid votes for the Chamber of Deputies (within this being at least 1.5% in at least nine States) or elect at least 13 federal deputies (spread across at least nine states).
In this scenario, parties tend to propose candidates with impactful names to the national legislature. In 2018, Kim Kataguiri obtained around 465 thousand votes (2.2%), and in 2022, around 295 thousand (1.2%).
