Senator Flavio Bolsonaro (PL) confirmed today, Friday (12/5), that he has been chosen by former President Jair Bolsonaro as his candidate for the presidency in the 2026 elections. Capitals It reveals that the former president, imprisoned in a federal police prison in Brasilia, communicated the decision to his interlocutors and close allies.
In a message posted on social media, Flavio said that he received the mission with “great responsibility,” and classified his father as “the greatest political and moral leader in Brazil.” The senator said: “I confirm the decision to assign me the task of continuing our nation’s project.”
The movement reorganizes the right-wing political council. Michelle Bolsonaro must run for the Senate from the Federal District, while Vice President Flavio must come from a centrist party. On the government side, the wings of the Workers’ Party are defending a repeat of the Lula-Alkmén ticket. According to an article by Igor Gadelha, from Metropolis, Tarcisio was personally informed of the decision during recent meetings with Flavio himself in São Paulo.
