Overview
- PP president Ciro Nogueira said Centrão leaders should meet with Senator Flávio Bolsonaro to discuss his newly announced pre-candidacy.
- Nogueira emphasized that the nominee cannot be chosen by the PL alone and must reflect research and allied parties’ views, with consultations planned across PSD, Republicanos, Podemos and Solidariedade.
- He scheduled a meeting for Monday with Flávio and União Brasil’s Antonio Rueda, as PP and União Brasil await TSE approval of their União Progressista federation.
- Nogueira publicly pointed to governors Tarcísio de Freitas and Ratinho Júnior as the figures most capable of unifying the center-right for 2026.
- Flávio launched his bid on December 5 with Jair Bolsonaro’s endorsement and said it is not an ‘experimental’ move, adding he would withdraw only if his father is released.
