The Liberal Party (PL) won 121 of the 513 seats in the Chamber of Deputies and the Workers' Party (PT) 70, followed by União with 46, PSD with 43, and PP and Republicanos with 41 each, Times Brasil reports.

In a projection for the Senate, PL has 28 of 81 seats, PT 9 and MDB 8. These figures may change before the new term starts on February 1, 2027.

Why it mattersNo party holds a majority, so bills that matter to business will depend on coalitions.
