CNN Brasil says 67.7% of incumbent deputies who ran again on October 4 were re-elected. They will hold 57.7% of the Chamber’s 513 seats.
CNN Brasil counted 296 re-elected lawmakers among 437 incumbent federal deputies who ran again on October 4, a 67.7% success rate. Another 141 lost. The returning lawmakers will occupy 57.7% of the Chamber of Deputies’ 513 seats when the new legislature begins on February 1, 2027.
Top vote-getters among those re-elected included Nikolas Ferreira of the Liberal Party in Minas Gerais, with 3,119,318 votes, Erika Hilton of PSOL in São Paulo, with 1,596,472, and André Fernandes of the Liberal Party in Ceará, with 684,372. Defeated candidates included PSOL caucus leader Tarcísio Motta and Maurício do Vôlei. Motta received 69,407 votes, down from 159,928 in 2022. Do Vôlei’s total fell from 83,267 to 16,122.
The Chamber separately reported 301 returning members, or 58.6% of the incoming chamber. That tally uses a broader roster, including alternates who later took titular seats, and is not directly comparable with CNN’s count of incumbents who ran again.
Among parties with at least five seats, Novo had the highest share of newcomers, six of ten. PV followed at 57.1%, then Podemos at 48.2%. PDT had one newcomer among six seats. Avante’s share was 20%, and PP’s was 24.4%. Deputies serve through January 31, 2031, under a single-round proportional system. Two-thirds of the Senate, or 54 of 81 seats, was contested. Senators’ eight-year terms begin February 1, 2027.
