Overview

  • The TSE vote was unanimous, with rapporteur André Mendonça prevailing and the full court endorsing registration of the new party.
  • Missão must remove a clause allowing state branches to surrender their Fund share to the national directory and must adopt concrete rules to prevent and punish political violence against women within 90 days.
  • Electoral authorities validated roughly 578,000 to 590,000 voter signatures, surpassing the legal threshold of about 547,000 and meeting geographic distribution requirements.
  • Registration confers the right to field candidates in 2026 if deadlines are met, receive public party and campaign funds, access free radio and TV slots, and use the exclusive name, number and symbols.
  • Leaders describe a liberal, right-leaning platform focused on fiscal restraint, tougher criminal laws and anti-corruption, with plans to run nationwide slates and an expected presidential bid by party president Renan Santos.
