Flávio acts to have a platform with PL candidate for government or Senate in all states

The PL party is seeking to have a presence in major electoral campaigns across all states to support Senator Flávio Bolsonaro's candidacy for the presidency.

The PL party has instructed its state leaders to ensure the party's presence in major electoral candidacies across all Brazilian states. The strategy aims to have at least one active gubernatorial or Senate candidate in each state who will campaign vigorously for Senator Flávio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ), the party's presidential candidate. This initiative reflects the party's larger strategy of consolidating support for Flávio in the upcoming elections.

The selection of candidacies for these platforms will be determined by former President Jair Bolsonaro (PL), who is tasked with picking Senate candidates, and by the current president of the PL, Valdemar Costa Neto, who will choose the candidates for gubernatorial positions. Recent developments have indicated that Bolsonaro has already solidified support in Santa Catarina, with his son Carlos Bolsonaro and Deputy Caroline de Toni positioned for the Senate race, highlighting the familial ties within the party's electoral strategy.

In Goiás, Jair Bolsonaro has selected Deputy Gustavo Gayer for one of the Senate seats while indicating that the second seat is to be reserved for the indication of Governor Ronaldo Caiado (PSD), who is also a pre-candidate for the governorship. This reflects the strategic maneuvering and alliances being formed by the Bolsonaro family and the PL as they prepare for the 2024 elections, showing a concerted effort to expand their influence across the country.
