Thiago Pampolha

politician Brazil

Thiago Pampolha is the current Vice Governor of Rio de Janeiro, affiliated with the MDB party. He has recently gained attention for his calls for a fair trial for ex-President Jair Bolsonaro, emphasizing the importance of the presumption of innocence and due process amid legal troubles facing Bolsonaro and others. As Pampolha is expected to take over the governorship in April 2026, he is seen as a key player in the political landscape of Rio, especially in the context of the upcoming elections. His relationship with current Governor Cláudio Castro has been complicated due to party shifts and political maneuvering, making him a significant figure in the succession race for the governorship.
