Gusttavo Lima says he is looking for a party to run for president of Brazil

Gusttavo Lima, 35, announced that he will run for President of the Republic in 2026. With a year and a half to go until the elections and still without a party, he decided to put his own name forward. The singer’s publicist confirmed to the F5 the countryman’s intention in the elections for the highest authority in the Executive Branch. “The singer’s name is available, should the country need it.”

“Brazil needs alternatives. I’m tired of seeing people in need without being able to do much to help. I myself faced many difficulties in life, but I took advantage of the opportunities I received. I came from a very humble condition, I even lost three teeth, but, of course, I was able to get treatment, a condition that many people don’t have”, said Gusttavo in an interview with Metrópoles.

An open supporter of Jair Bolsonaro (PL), he still doesn’t know if he will have the support of the former president. “Enough of this story of right and left. It’s not about that, it’s about making a gesture for the country, in the sense of putting my knowledge to benefit a project to unite the population”, said the singer.

Gusttavo Lima, who had his accounts blocked by the courts in an investigation into his alleged involvement in a money laundering scheme using bets, stated that he will start talking to several political groups to enable his entry into politics.

At the end of September, the singer was indicted for money laundering and criminal organization. Gusttavo even had an arrest warrant issued, but the decision was overturned in the second instance. According to investigators, the scheme involved animal games, gambling and betting.
