Senator Flavio Bolsonaro has confirmed his intention to participate in Brazil’s 2026 presidential election. This announcement follows recent statements suggesting he might reconsider his candidacy under certain conditions.

On Tuesday, Flavio Bolsonaro addressed reporters in Brasilia, affirming his commitment to the presidential race. His father, former President Jair Bolsonaro, is currently serving a 27-year sentence following a Supreme Court conviction related to attempts to overturn the 2022 presidential election results.

Flavio stated, “I told him this candidacy is irreversible,” emphasizing his determination to proceed with his campaign.

Previously, Flavio Bolsonaro indicated to media outlets that he might withdraw from the race for a "price," leading to significant public and political scrutiny. Critics have questioned the ethical implications of such a statement.

Flavio later clarified his position, stating, “My price is Bolsonaro free and on the ballot. In other words, there is no price.”

Flavio Bolsonaro has received endorsements from various right-wing figures, including Sao Paulo Governor Tarcisio de Freitas. The Liberal Party's president, Valdemar Costa Neto, confirmed that Flavio would lead the party's ticket, supported by Jair Bolsonaro's endorsement.

In September, the Supreme Court convicted Jair Bolsonaro on charges related to a coup attempt. In November, he was ordered to begin his prison sentence after tampering with an ankle monitor. The Supreme Electoral Tribunal barred him from holding public office until 2030.
