Àwòrán tí AI ṣe

The MDB National Executive decided on Thursday to create a commission to deliberate on party candidacies and alliances in the Federal District for the 2026 elections.

The commission will be formed by five deputies from different party factions, including Isnaldo Bulhões, Rafael Prudente, Wellington Luiz, Iza Arruda and Marcelo Priante. The decision keeps regional command in the hands of Wellington Luiz.

The panel will lead talks on alliances, aiming to expand the MDB's presence in the Chamber and Senate. The party continues negotiations to join a ticket with Governor Celina Leão, with former Governor Ibaneis Rocha as pre-candidate for the Senate.

Wellington Luiz stated that the measure represents a response to the work carried out locally. Rafael Prudente said the deliberation resolves the internal impasse and that the National Executive will closely monitor the decisions.
