TSE judges creation of the Missão party, from the MBL, which could become the 30th party in the country
The Superior Electoral Court (TSE) should begin judging this Thursday (30) the request for the creation of the Missão party, articulated by the Movimento Brasil Livre (MBL). If approved, the group will officially join the Brazilian party system as the country’s 30th party.
The rapporteur of the process is Minister André Mendonça, and the Attorney General’s Office (PGR) has already issued a favorable opinion on the formalization of the acronym. According to the G1the TSE validated around 590 thousand signatures in support of the new party, 42.9 thousand more than the minimum required by electoral legislation, which reinforces the expectation of approval.

What’s at stake
The MBL began collecting signatures in 2023, to consolidate an independent political project. To contest the 2026 elections, the party needs to be formalized up to six months before the election, a deadline that expires in April of next year.

If authorized, Missão will be the first party created in Brazil since 2019, when Unidad Popular (UP) obtained registration with the TSE. The new party intends to launch its own candidacies for positions in the Executive and Legislative branches, including a candidate for the Presidency of the Republic.
Identity and principles
In documents sent to the TSE, the group indicates that it intends to use the number 14 in electronic voting machines. The party statute defines Missão as a party with a “liberal character”, aimed at defending a lean and functional State and implementing administrative reform in the country.
Approval of registration will allow the new party access to the party fund and electoral fund, as long as it participates in the 2026 elections.
Next steps
For Missão to be officially recognized as a political party, the TSE will need to approve the party’s statute and the registration of its national leadership.
If the vote takes place according to schedule, the MBL should accelerate its electoral structuring in the first months of 2026, including regional alliances and the formation of state directories.
With the eventual creation of the party, Brazil will once again have 30 parties with active registration.
