Overview

  • Ciro Nogueira named Minas Gerais governor Romeu Zema as the strongest vice-presidential option to bolster appeal in the Southeast.
  • He argued the 2026 contest will be decided in the region and praised Zema's management record, yet conceded it is uncertain how much he would add in votes.
  • Nogueira said Flávio Bolsonaro's candidacy is effectively settled after Jair Bolsonaro's endorsement.
  • He stated the PP will wait until April to decide on formal support, linking backing to a centrist message that reaches beyond the core Bolsonaro base.
  • He ruled himself out for vice and said he will run for the Senate in Piauí, after previously favoring Tarcísio de Freitas, who is expected to seek reelection in São Paulo.
