Founded on February 10, 1980, by President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, the political organization, the largest left-wing party in Latin America, has maintained its leadership continuously since late 1990s and has retained stability under the current administration.

The second position is held by the conservative Liberal Party (PL), led by former President Jair Bolsonaro, which reached its historical high with 12 percent approval.

Its growth intensified as of December 2021, reaching double digits in October 2022.

Before the PL’s rise, the second position was contested by the Brazilian Social Democracy Party (PSDB) and the Brazilian Democratic Movement (MDB), which were overtaken by the Social Liberal Party (PSL) in 2018 following the attack against Bolsonaro.

The PT, throughout its existence, has left a profound print on the national political scene, symbolizing the struggle for social inclusion, redistributive justice, and the active participation of the popular sectors.
