In a significant political move, Bia Kicis, a federal deputy, and Michelle Bolsonaro, the former first lady, have officially announced their intention to run for Senate seats in the Federal District in the upcoming 2026 elections. They will represent the Liberal Party (PL) and have committed to a 'pure list', which means they will not be supporting candidates from other political parties. This decision indicates a strategic alignment within the party, especially with the approval of former president Jair Bolsonaro, who is currently incarcerated but still holds considerable influence within party circles.

Kicis emphasized the partnership, stating that while she and Michelle share different trajectories and audiences, they are united by a core set of values such as freedom, family, respect for citizens, and defending the interests of the Federal District. Their goal is clear: to secure both available Senate positions for the PL and establish a strong, coherent representation in the Senate that aligns with their political ideologies. This anticipated candidature reflects ongoing alignments and strategies within Brazilian politics as various factions prepare for the 2026 elections.

The 2026 election will see two Senate seats up for grabs in the Federal District, and the formation of this 'pure list' is indicative of an effort to consolidate support around conservative values and policies. It remains to be seen how this will play out against other competitors, but Kicis and Michelle's announcement is a crucial step in setting the stage for the upcoming electoral battle.
