List Of Presidents Of Brazil (1891-2023)

The fifth largest country in the world, Brazil occupies half the continent’s landmass and is officially called the Federative Republic of Brazil, Portuguese República Federativa do Brasil. It is exceeded in size by Russia, Canada, China, and the United States, though its area is greater than that of the 48 conterminous U.S. states.

The political party system of Brazil began in the 1940s under President Getúlio Dorneles Vargas. He established the Social Democratic Party and the Brazilian Labour Party to buffer his weakening administration. 

In the 1950s  and early ’60s, a number of other parties were organized and entered elections but few gained influence. The military government took power in 1964 and in 1965 abolished all political parties and replaced them with a single government party, the National Renewal Alliance, and a lone opposition party, the Brazilian Democratic Movement. 

In 1979 the government abolished these two organizations which allowed more parties to participate but still under restrictive regulations. In 1985, after the civilian government was restored  Brazil again legalized all political parties, and a highly fragmented multi-party system emerged.

It was anchored by the Liberal Front Party, the Brazilian Social Democratic Party, the Party of the Brazilian Democratic Movement, and the Workers’ Party. Recently, on January 8, 2023 president Jair Bolsonaro who lost last year’s presidential election narrowly to Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva stormed the country’s Congress, Supreme Court, and presidential offices in the capital Brasilia.
