Costa Filho and Campos campaign together in Pernambuco

istoe.com.br (Portuguese)

Minister Silvio Costa Filho and Recife Mayor João Campos are appearing together at São João festivals in Pernambuco, signaling a potential alliance for the 2026 elections. This suggests Campos may be building a campaign platform. The minister, from the Republicanos party, and the mayor, from the PSB, are expected to form a Senate ticket with Costa Filho and PT's Humberto Costa. This move is seen as potentially pleasing President Lula, who seeks to limit Bolsonaro supporters in the Senate. President Lula has not yet endorsed Campos, and the PT has considered supporting Governor Raquel Lyra. Political analysts suggest Campos is a strong candidate and a key ally for the president.
