Lula may not attend any debate in the first round

oglobo14 September 2026 at 14:21

Former President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva may not participate in any debate during the first round of the elections. The PT campaign command continues to rule out Lula's attendance at the Record debate, scheduled for September 27.

Electoral polls show that the Republicanos candidate, Flavio Bolsonaro, is advancing over Lula in voting intentions. Despite this, the PT campaign maintains its position of not confirming the former president's participation in the Record debate.

Attendance at the Globo debate, scheduled for October 1, is still being analyzed by Lula's campaign team. The decision on participation in the debates therefore remains undefined at this time.

Why this matters

This matters to Brazilian voters who want to compare presidential candidates directly before the election. The decision affects how undecided voters can assess the candidates and follows from concerns within the PT campaign about Lula's strategy amid tightening polls showing Flavio Bolsonaro gaining ground.
