Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has indicated his intention to run for re-election in the 2026 presidential election, suggesting he could become the first president in Brazil's history to be elected four times. Speaking at various events, including a Petrobras ceremony and public appearances in Duque de Caxias, Lula expressed confidence that "if everything goes as I am thinking," he will secure a fourth term. He also called for conciliation with the National Congress, emphasizing that disagreements, such as those over the financial transaction tax (IOF), are part of healthy dialogue between government branches. Lula dismissed notions that his government is over, urging preparation for his potential re-election bid. While he has not made a formal announcement, his repeated statements signal a clear intention to seek another term.
