Lula faces Senate resistance to filling the vacant STF seat left by Luís Roberto Barroso's 2025 retirement, after lawmakers rejected his nominee Jorge Messias 42-34 in April 2026—the first such defeat in over a century. Recent reporting indicates the president is evaluating whether to resubmit Messias or select a consensus alternative, possibly a woman, before the October 2026 election, while weighing relations with Senate President Davi Alcolumbre and STF leadership. Lula has publicly reaffirmed his commitment to Messias but has received advice to avoid new friction ahead of compulsory retirements of other justices. Trader consensus reflects uncertainty over timing, Senate dynamics, and Lula's re-election prospects, with any announcement hinging on negotiations in the final weeks of the campaign.

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.
