Zé Trovão announces candidacy for Chamber of Deputies president
The deputy Zé Trovão announced his candidacy for president of the Chamber of Deputies and criticized the current president, Hugo Motta. The election is scheduled for February 2027, and the PL, the largest bloc, has not yet decided on its candidate.
Federal deputy Zé Trovão announced, on Tuesday (3), his candidacy for the presidency of the Chamber of Deputies. The statement was made in a video posted on his social networks, in which he harshly criticized the current president of the House, Hugo Motta. “I will not be ruled by a loose, soft president like the Hugo Motta,” he said. The election for the House of Representatives is scheduled for February 2027, but political articulations are already moving behind the scenes in Brasilia.
The announcement of Zé Trovão comes at a time of intense movement between the benches. Motta, who is seeking re-election, already has the declared support of parties that total 338 deputies by 2027. To be elected, at least 257 votes are required. The alliance around the current president includes acronyms of the Center and the left, which demonstrates the strength of his candidacy.
Criticism of the current president
Zé Trovão did not spare words when referring to Hugo Motta. The deputy, known for his combative style, called the current president “loose” and “soft.” The statement reinforces the tone of confrontation that should mark the dispute for the command of the House. The source did not detail whether other lawmakers endorsed Zé Trovão’s speech.
The position of Zé Trovão contrasts with the more conciliatory profile attributed to Motta. While the current president has been building bridges with different parties, Zé Trovão is betting on a breakthrough speech. It is not yet clear whether this strategy will have enough appeal to attract votes beyond the bolsonarist base.

PL has not yet defined a candidate
The PL, party of Zé Trovão, will have the largest bench of the House in 2027, with 121 deputies. Despite this, the legend has not yet defined an official name to dispute the presidency of the House. The choice is to be discussed at the bench meeting on Wednesday (4.nov). The indefiniteness of the PL makes room for other names to appear, such as Zé Trovão himself.
Zé Trovão’s candidacy may not be the only one within the party. The source did not detail whether there are other applicants. What is known is that the PL has significant political weight and can influence the outcome of the election. If the legend decides to support another candidate, Zé Trovão may remain isolated.
Scenario for February 2027
The election for the presidency of the House takes place in February 2027, shortly after the inauguration of the new deputies. The winner will have a central role in the definition of the legislative agenda and in the relationship with the Executive. Hugo Motta, who took office in 2025, seeks re-election with a broad coalition.
Zé Trovão bets on a speech of opposition to what he calls “old politics”. His candidacy, however, faces the challenge of winning votes outside the PL. The source did not detail whether he has already started conversations with other benches. The scenario is still uncertain, but the dispute promises to be fierce.
Impact for the voter
The choice of the mayor directly affects the lives of Brazilians. It is he who defines which projects enter the vote, controls the rhythm of the work and can guide themes of national interest. Therefore, the dispute between Zé Trovão and Hugo Motta goes beyond the halls of Congress.
For the elector, understanding the positions of each candidate is essential. Zé Thunder presents himself as a name of confrontation, while Motta is seen as an articulator. The source did not detail Zé Trovão’s proposals for the House. Still, the announcement of his candidacy moves the political table.
The Boca no Trombone Portal will continue to follow the developments of this dispute. Stay tuned for upcoming updates on the House election.
