The state directories of Partido Socialismo e Liberdade (PSOL) and Rede Sustentabilidade officially endorsed Fernando Haddad (PT) for governor and Marina Silva (Rede) for the Senate.
This coalition formalizes a strategic alliance between left-wing and sustainability-focused parties in Brazil's most populous state. By consolidating support behind high-profile candidates, the federation aims to maximize its influence in the 2026 general elections.
The endorsement occurred during a convention held Sunday afternoon, July 26 [1]. The meeting served to solidify the PSOL-Rede federation's electoral strategy for the upcoming cycle in São Paulo state [1], [2].
Beyond the gubernatorial and senatorial races, the federation announced its lists for legislative candidates. The coalition confirmed a total of 47 candidates for federal deputy [2]. Of that number, 37 candidates represent PSOL, and 10 represent Rede [2].
The federation also finalized its slate for the state legislature. Officials said 66 candidates for state deputy will run under the coalition banner [2].
While the primary convention took place this Sunday, previous coordination meetings between the parties had occurred earlier this year, including a reported meeting on April 14 [3]. The current alignment ensures that the federation enters the 2026 race with a unified front for both executive and legislative positions in the region.
“The coalition confirmed a total of 47 candidates for federal deputy.”
The alignment of PSOL and Rede behind Fernando Haddad and Marina Silva signals a consolidated effort to unify the Brazilian left and environmentalist blocs in São Paulo. By coordinating candidate lists for federal and state deputies, the parties are attempting to avoid splitting the vote, which increases their likelihood of securing legislative seats through proportional representation.
