BRAZILIAN PRESIDENT LULA ANNOUNCES HE WILL SEEK REELECTION. (PHOTO).


 Brazilian President Lula announces he will seek reelection

Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva announced Thursday that he will seek reelection in 2026, aiming for a fourth nonconsecutive term.

Speaking during his official visit to Indonesia, Lula said, “I’m turning 80, but you can be sure I have the same energy I had when I was 30. And I’m going to run for a fourth term in Brazil.” He is traveling across Asia, with plans to visit Malaysia for the Association of Southeast Asian Nations summit after leaving Indonesia, where he met with President Prabowo Subianto. Brazilian media report that Lula is expected to meet U.S. President Donald Trump in Malaysia on Sunday to discuss the 50% trade tariff Trump imposed on Brazil.

Brazilian law allows presidents to serve only two consecutive terms, but nonconsecutive terms are permitted. Lula returned to the office in 2023 after 13 years out of power. He previously said his 2022 campaign would be his last, citing age and the need for political renewal, but early in his current term, he hinted at another run. In February 2023, he said his decision would depend on Brazil’s political context and his health.

Lula, a dominant figure on Brazil’s left and the country’s longest-serving president since its return to democracy 40 years ago, has faced concerns about his age and recent health issues. He underwent emergency surgery for a brain bleed last year after a fall, but often emphasizes his energy and fitness on social media.

He currently leads polls for the 2026 election, though roughly half of voters disapprove of him. Trump’s trade tariffs have boosted his popularity. His main rival, Jair Bolsonaro, is barred from running and is serving a 27-year sentence for attempting a coup. Analysts say any strong opposition may depend on Bolsonaro’s influence while serving house arrest.
