Federal deputy Tabata Amaral (PSB) pressured the PT on Friday (22) to quickly define the composition of Fernando Haddad's ticket for São Paulo governor, arguing that "the delay in defining the ticket is very bad for the campaign." The statement was made during the Esfera Forum 2026 in Guarujá, in conversation with journalists. ✓

"O que a gente vem comunicando ao PT é que a demora para essa definição da chapa é muito ruim para a campanha. E já já estaremos nela"
The left-wing ticket in São Paulo remains undefined less than two months before party conventions — scheduled by the TSE for July 20 to August 5. Three names are competing for two Senate seats: Simone Tebet (PSB), Marina Silva (Rede), and Márcio França (PSB). The vice-governor position also remains open. ✓

"Hoje, Simone Tebet (PSB), Marina Silva (Rede) e Márcio França (PSB) são pré-candidatos ao Senado. Apenas dois nomes serão eleitos para a Casa Alta nesse ano. A vaga de vice segue indefinida."
"De 20 de julho a 5 de agosto, partidos e federações realizam convenções partidárias para deliberar sobre coligações e escolher candidatas e candidatos"
According to Tabata, the concern has already been communicated to the PT previously, and the impasse contrasts with the government camp's situation, which has already defined its ticket with Tarcísio de Freitas and Felício Ramuth as vice. PSOL, Rede, and PDT support Marina Silva for the Senate, while Márcio França (PSB) tries to position himself for the second seat in the upper house. ✓

Party conventions, which must deliberate on coalitions and choose candidates, take place between July 20 and August 5, 2026, with candidate registration requests due to the Electoral Court by August 15, according to the TSE calendar. ✓
