Government and coalitions

Before the vote

Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) has been President since 1 January 2023 and governs without a majority of his own, on a multi-party base built around the centre parties. The first round on 4 October settled the new Congress — the PL is the largest group in the Chamber of Deputies — and 21 of the 27 state governments.

After the vote

Lula was re-elected with 64,256,232 votes, 51.79% of the valid vote, against 48.21% for Flávio Bolsonaro, with all 499,248 polling sections totalled; the TSE records him as elected. Final totalisation and diplomação come in December, and the term begins on 1 January 2027. The Congress elected on 4 October gives him no majority: in the 513-seat Chamber, where 257 is a majority, the PL is the largest caucus with 121 and the parties of his coalition total 124.

About this election

How the vote works

The President is elected in two rounds: a candidate with more than half of the valid votes wins outright; otherwise the top two meet in a run-off three weeks later, alongside governor run-offs. The Chamber of Deputies is elected by open-list proportional representation within each state; in 2026 each state and the Federal District elect two senators by simple majority. Voting is compulsory for literate citizens aged 18 to 70 and fully electronic.
