Overview
- Aécio Neves will assume the PSDB presidency on Nov. 27 after a single-slate election by the national directory.
- The party does not plan to field a presidential candidate in 2026 and is targeting the election of 30 federal deputies.
- Rebuilding goals include clearing performance-clause thresholds and preparing a broader national project geared toward 2030.
- Aécio positions PSDB as opposition to the PT without aligning with bolsonarismo, explicitly vetoing support for Lula or a Bolsonaro-family bid.
- He says the unresolved succession to Jair Bolsonaro, who was placed in preventive detention on Nov. 22, is delaying the center-right's path and affecting PSDB timing.
