The PSDB party in São Paulo is proactively seeking to bolster its representation in the state legislature after a significant reduction in its number of members. In recent weeks, the party has initiated negotiations to welcome three new deputies: André Bueno from PL and Ana Carolina Serra from Cidadania are among the key targets, with hopes to finalize their affiliations shortly. This move is considered critical as the PSDB aims to recover its presence before the 2026 elections.

The party experienced a notable setback when it lost six deputies to the PSD, prompting current members to reassess the party's attractiveness to potential recruits. In an effort to revitalize its image, the PSDB is now marketing itself as a less 'inflated' option in the political arena. The argument is that lower electoral thresholds will make it easier for new candidates to succeed, with the current requirement being approximately 60,000 valid votes to secure a seat in the state assembly.

Additionally, the PSDB has broader ambitions, not only focusing on state deputies but also aiming to result in the election of two federal deputies in the National Congress. The state president of PSDB-SP, Paulo Serra, has expressed optimism about the party's appeal to lawmakers, suggesting that it has become a more compelling choice amid the shifting political landscape in Brazil, and is prepared for the challenges ahead in future electoral contests.
