Cury. The candidate who is "neither left nor right" surges

SAPO Notícias2 September 2026 at 17:07

The candidate identified as Cury emerged as a surprise in the electoral race, self-positioning as "neither left nor right." His personal marketing strategy and self-help approach has been gaining significant support from the electorate.

The growth in the polls was expressive, going from 1% to 11%, demonstrating a meteoric rise in a short time. This jump in voting intentions occurred after a debate and an interview that caught the public's attention.

After these public appearances, Cury captivated approximately two million followers, revealing a mobilization power on social media that impressed political analysts. This base of supporters has been compared to a self-help community, with the candidate selling an image of personal transformation.

The Cury phenomenon is already considered a real threat to the main candidates, being pointed out as the strongest rival of Lula and Bolsonaro (Flávio) in the electoral dispute. His centrist position and his message of renewal seem to resonate with a significant portion of the electorate dissatisfied with the traditional options.
