Lula da Silva 2026 presidential campaign

Uncommon card · No. 79224

The Lula da Silva 2026 presidential campaign was officialized on 2 August 2026 in São Paulo. His running mate was incumbent vice president of Brazil, Geraldo Alckmin. Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, who has been the current president of Brazil since 2023 after defeating incumbent Jair Bolsonaro in the 2022 election, ran for reelection for his fourth presidential term. This was da Silva's seventh presidential campaign in Brazilian presidential elections. Lula finished second in the first round, behind Flávio Bolsonaro, but emerged victorious in the second round of the election, which was marked by a major mobilization of his supporters through social media and street demonstrations—most notably "Lula's Army", a WhatsApp channel that reached 10 million subscribers. He became the first presidential candidate in Brazil to achieve a comeback in the second round, and the first individual to be directly elected to the office four times.
