Overview
- The PT’s Bahia convention on Saturday confirmed Governor Jerônimo Rodrigues’s re-election bid and the party’s two Senate tickets for Jaques Wagner and Rui Costa with President Lula on stage and publicly asking for votes.
- PT allies in Minas Gerais ratified Patrus Ananias as their gubernatorial candidate at a joint convention, while the PT-led federation is still negotiating a vice slot and other local ticket details.
- Republicanos held a São Paulo convention that officially launched Governor Tarcísio de Freitas’s re-election campaign and presented a broad center‑right coalition with Felício Ramuth as running mate.
- Federation fights and strategic withdrawals are reshaping slates: Miguel Coelho withdrew his Senate pre-candidacy in Pernambuco because of federation disputes, and other Senate or vice choices remain unresolved within federations.
- Key deadlines tighten the calendar — parties must finish conventions by August 5 and register candidates at the TSE by August 15 — meaning ongoing legal probes, internal federation rulings and court challenges could still alter nominations before filings are final.
