Fragmentation within Brazilian center-right coalition; Flávio (likely Bolsonaro ally) breaking with Zema (New Party), reducing unified opposition to Lula government. Regional power bases consolidating separately, weakening potential 2026 right-wing candidacy.
Similar to 2018 Brazilian election dynamics where coalition instability among right-wing candidates benefited incumbent left-wing forces; internal disputes over judicial alignment (STF references) echo broader institutional tensions.

Political fragmentation could complicate policy implementation at state level. Potential delays in coordinated economic initiatives, infrastructure projects, or fiscal management. May influence future coalition-building and governance effectiveness in Brazilian regional politics, affecting regulatory predictability.
