Brazil's 2026 General Election

Escalation: Lula Confirms Alckmin As Running Mate Again

Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva said he will run again with Vice President Geraldo Alckmin in October. He said Alckmin will leave the industry minister post to comply with election rules. Ministers who plan to run must resign by April 4.

Lula made the announcement at a cabinet meeting in Brasilia. The deadline is prompting a wider shuffle, with at least 18 ministers set to step down by April 4. The move fixes Lula’s ticket and creates a vacancy at the Industry Ministry ahead of the campaign.
