Key details
Cabo Daciolo, a former federal deputy, has officially declared his candidacy for the presidency of Brazil in the 2026 elections. He will run under the Mobiliza party, previously known as the Partido da Mobilização Nacional (PMN). This announcement, made on April 4, 2026, signifies a strategic shift as Daciolo abandons his prior plans to run for the Senate.
Daciolo, known for his unconventional political style, emphasized his independence from traditional power structures, stating, "I do not have gold, I do not have silver, but what we have, the richest man in the world cannot buy. I am not for sale to the system. I am just passing through, announcing the kingdom, and I need your prayer and your cry to continue this battle together."
In the 2018 presidential race, Daciolo ran with the Patriota party and secured sixth place, earning over 1.3 million votes. His previous campaign was notable for minimal public exposure and extremely low spending, having reported only R$ 808 in electoral expenses and holding just one event at the Expo Cristã in São Paulo.
This new declaration positions Daciolo as a continuing outsider in Brazil's presidential race, appealing to voters disenchanted with mainstream politics. As the 2026 elections approach, his campaign is expected to draw attention given his distinct approach and prior electoral performance.
