Briefings

Brazil's Oct. 4 general election saw far-right candidates secure a decisive victory, with the Liberal Party winning 19 Senate seats to form a majority. Indigenous leader Dinamam Tuxa described the outcome as a 'bleak moment' that threatens to strip constitutional protections. The Liberal Party's anti-Indigenous voting record between 2019 and 2026 shows 95.9% of votes opposed Indigenous rights, while other right-wing parties also consistently opposed them. This shift occurred in a chamber where the Liberal Party now holds 28 seats, nearly double its 2022 count, and is the largest bloc in the 81-seat Senate.

Key points

• The Liberal Party, affiliated with Flávio Bolsonaro, won 19 Senate seats in Brazil's Oct. 4 general election, forming a majority with 28 total seats in the 81-seat chamber.
• Indigenous leader Dinamam Tuxa described the election results as a 'bleak moment' that could drive new attempts to remove constitutional protections for Indigenous peoples.

Context and limitations

Data on voting records is limited to the period between 2019 and 2026, and the analysis relies on the Indigenous Missionary Council's interpretation of votes rather than direct party statements.
