President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has one open Supreme Court vacancy on the STF following Justice Luís Roberto Barroso’s retirement in October 2025. His initial nominee, Solicitor General Jorge Messias, was rejected by the Senate in a 42-34 vote in April 2026—the first such defeat for a president in over a century—amid opposition resistance and Senate leadership preferences. Lula has publicly stated he may resubmit Messias or propose another candidate, but no new formal nomination has advanced as of late September 2026. Key variables include the need for at least 41 Senate votes, ongoing coalition talks with Senate President Davi Alcolumbre, and positioning ahead of the October general election. Trader consensus on near-term resolution dates reflects these procedural and political hurdles.

An announcement from Lula or the Office of the Presidency of the Republic of Brazil (Presidência da República) stating that Lula has nominated an individual for Minister of the Supreme Federal Court will suffice to resolve this market, regardless of whether a formal nomination actually occurred.
Qualifying announcements must explicitly present the relevant individual as the nominee for Minister of the Supreme Federal Court. Announcements of acting or interim appointments, announcements of intention to nominate an individual in the future, or announcements which merely reveal potential candidates will not qualify. Media reports, speculation, or other unofficial information will not qualify.
A formal presidential nomination of an individual to be Minister of the Supreme Federal Court will also suffice to resolve this market. Formal nominations are defined as the submission of a nomination message to the President of the Federal Senate (presidente do Senado Federal).
The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the Presidency of the Republic of Brazil (https://www.gov.br/planalto), however a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
