The Novo party has discarded the possibility of former STF minister Joaquim Barbosa serving as the vice presidential candidate on Romeu Zema's ticket. Conversations did not progress, and the former governor of Minas Gerais is expected to select a running mate from within his own party.
Potential candidates mentioned include Senator Eduardo Girão and political scientist Luiz Felipe d’Avila, who ran for president in 2022. Party officials noted that other possibilities may still emerge. A final decision is expected early next week, ahead of the August 5 deadline for defining tickets.
Zema had previously praised Barbosa publicly because such an appointment would align with Zema's criticisms of the STF. Barbosa joined the DC party in May and was presented as a presidential pre-candidate before withdrawing.
