THE BRAZILIAN PEOPLE WILL DECIDE THE PRESIDENCY IN THE SECOND ROUND
FLÁVIO BOLSONARO (PL)
×
LUIZ INÁCIO LULA DA SILVA (PT)
OCTOBER 25, 2026
CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES: PL BECOMES THE LARGEST PARTY
The congressional result reinforces the broader political shift visible in the presidential election. The PL elected 121 federal deputies, making it the largest party representation in Brazil's 513-member Chamber of Deputies.
According to the Chamber of Deputies, this represents an increase of 24 seats compared with the previous election. The PT-PCdoB-PV Federation finished second with 82 deputies, six fewer than in the previous election.
| Party / Federation | Seats |
|---|---|
| PL | 121 |
| PT-PCdoB-PV Federation | 82 |
| União Brasil | 46 |
| PSD | 43 |
| PP | 41 |
| Republicanos | 41 |
| MDB | 36 |
| Podemos | 27 |
| PSB | 15 |
| PSOL-Rede Federation | 14 |
The PL's 121 seats represent approximately 23.6% of the Chamber. That does not constitute an absolute majority: 257 seats are required. It nevertheless gives the party considerably greater influence over legislative negotiations, coalition-building and the formation of congressional majorities.
FEDERAL SENATE: PL ELECTS 19 SENATORS AND IS PROJECTED TO HOLD 28 OF 81 SEATS
Two-thirds of the Federal Senate were renewed in 2026: 54 of the Senate's 81 seats were contested. The PL elected 19 senators, equivalent to 35.2% of all Senate seats contested in this election.
According to the Federal Senate's calculation, the PL is projected to begin 2027 with 28 senators. The PT is projected to have 9 and the MDB 8.
PT — 9
MDB — 8
PSD — 5
PSB — 4
NOVO — 3
PSDB — 2
Podemos — 2
Rede — 1
PDT — 1
PP and União Brasil belong to the União Progressista Federation, but the Federal Senate counts their Senate party representations separately.
If the projected figure of 28 is confirmed when the new senators take office, the PL will have the largest single-party representation at the beginning of a Senate legislature since the promulgation of Brazil's 1988 Constitution. The previous record was 27 senators, held by the then-PMDB at the beginning of the 1999 legislature.
The PL's 19 newly elected senators also constitute a record under the 1988 Constitution for the number of senators elected by a single party in one election.
PARANÁ: SERGIO MORO ELECTED GOVERNOR IN THE FIRST ROUND
3,127,911 votes — 50.10%
With 100% of the votes counted, Sergio Moro (PL) was elected Governor of Paraná in the first round. He received 3,127,911 votes, equivalent to 50.10% of the valid votes.
A former federal judge, former Minister of Justice and senator on leave, Moro ran as part of an alliance formed by Podemos, PL and NOVO, with Edson Vasconcelos (PL) as his running mate for Vice Governor.
PARANÁ ELECTS FILIPE BARROS AND DELTAN DALLAGNOL TO THE FEDERAL SENATE
Paraná voters elected Filipe Barros (PL) and Deltan Dallagnol (NOVO) to the state's two Senate seats contested in 2026.
| Candidate | Party | Final Share |
|---|---|---|
| Filipe Barros | PL | 27.25% |
| Deltan Dallagnol | NOVO | 25.14% |
Both were elected to the Federal Senate for the first time. Their eight-year terms are scheduled to run from February 1, 2027, through January 31, 2035.
The Paraná result is politically significant: Moro won the state government in the first round, while Barros and Dallagnol won the two Senate seats contested by Paraná.
STATE GOVERNMENTS: 20 RACES DECIDED IN THE FIRST ROUND
Twenty state governorships were decided on October 4. The remaining six states and the Federal District will hold gubernatorial runoffs on October 25.
| Party | Governors Elected | States |
|---|---|---|
| PL | 5 | Paraná, Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina, Rondônia, Roraima |
| PSD | 4 | Amapá, Maranhão, Pernambuco, Sergipe |
| PT | 3 | Bahia, Ceará, Piauí |
| Republicanos | 3 | Mato Grosso, Minas Gerais, São Paulo |
| PP | 2 | Paraíba, Mato Grosso do Sul |
| MDB | 1 | Goiás |
| PSDB | 1 | Alagoas |
| Podemos | 1 | Pará |
Governorships Going to the Second Round
Acre: Mailza Assis (PP) × Alan Rick (Republicanos)
Amazonas: Omar Aziz (PSD) × Professora Maria do Carmo (PL)
Tocantins: Professora Dorinha (União Brasil) × Vicentinho Júnior (PSDB)
Rio Grande do Norte: Allyson Bezerra (União Brasil) × Cadu de Lula (PT)
Federal District: Celina Leão (PP) × Leandro Grass (PT)
Espírito Santo: Lorenzo Pazolini (Republicanos) × Ricardo Ferraço (MDB)
Rio de Janeiro: Douglas Ruas (PL) × Eduardo Paes (PSD)
ANALYSIS — WHAT DID THE BRAZILIAN PEOPLE SAY ON OCTOBER 4?
The first round of Brazil's 2026 general election cannot be understood solely as a presidential contest between Flávio Bolsonaro and Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. The Brazilian people voted simultaneously for the Presidency, the Chamber of Deputies, two-thirds of the Federal Senate, state governments and state legislatures. Viewed together, the results reveal a broader redistribution of political power.
At the presidential level, Flávio Bolsonaro finished first with 47.03% of the valid vote, against Lula's 45.16%. The margin — 2,224,965 votes — is significant, but neither candidate obtained the absolute majority of valid votes required for a first-round victory. The presidency therefore remains to be decided by Brazilian voters on October 25.
The congressional results have a different institutional character. The PL will enter the next Chamber of Deputies as its largest party, with 121 of 513 seats. In the Senate, the party elected 19 of the 54 senators chosen in 2026 and is projected to hold 28 of the 81 Senate seats when the new legislature begins.
At the state level, the PL also won the largest number of governorships decided in the first round, with five victories. The PSD won four; PT and Republicanos won three each; PP won two; and MDB, PSDB and Podemos won one each.
It is visible simultaneously in Flávio Bolsonaro's first-place presidential finish, the PL's emergence as the largest party in the Chamber of Deputies, the election of 19 PL senators, the party's projected 28-seat representation in the Federal Senate, and its five first-round gubernatorial victories.
The result does not establish absolute control of Brazil's political institutions by a single party. It does demonstrate a substantial redistribution of political representation produced by Brazilian voters on October 4, 2026.
Political Strength Is Not the Same as Absolute Control
The PL cannot govern Congress alone. An absolute majority requires 257 of the 513 members of the Chamber of Deputies and 41 of the 81 members of the Federal Senate.
A constitutional amendment requires an even higher threshold: three-fifths of the members of each chamber, in two rounds of voting — 308 deputies and 49 senators.
The institutional significance of the election therefore lies in the redistribution of representation, bargaining power, coalition-building capacity, legislative influence and the ability to support, negotiate, condition or block measures requiring qualified majorities.
The Brazilian People Will Have the Final Word
The congressional and first-round gubernatorial results have already altered Brazil's political landscape for the years ahead. But the Presidency remains undecided.
On October 25, 2026, the Brazilian people will return to the polls to choose between Flávio Bolsonaro (PL) and Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT).
THE FIRST ROUND RESHAPED THE BALANCE OF POWER.
THE BRAZILIAN PEOPLE WILL DECIDE WHAT COMES NEXT.
