Paraná Governor Ratinho Júnior (PSD) announced on Monday (March 23) that he is withdrawing from the 2026 presidential race and will complete his state term. PSD national president Gilberto Kassab stated the party will select its candidate by month's end, between Governors Eduardo Leite (RS) and Ronaldo Caiado (GO). The decision surprised Kassab but does not change the third-way plan.
On the afternoon of Tuesday, March 24, Silvia Abravanel, daughter of Silvio Santos, joined Brazil's PSD party and announced her candidacy for federal deputy in upcoming elections. In a speech to supporters, she said God wants her there.
