During the convention, PSOL representatives stated that they will appeal the decision to the federation's national leadership. The party argues that Olímpio Rocha's pre-candidacy had been announced since November last year and that there was no internal dispute within the party. The Network defended its support for Lucas Ribeiro based on the position adopted by the federation in other states, such as Ceará and Pernambuco. Lucas Ribeiro has not yet made his candidacy for the government of Paraíba official, but he is a pre-candidate. He is the current governor of the state. His official status as a candidate must take place by the end of the deadline given by the Electoral Court, which is August 5th. The federation also announced that it should support, in the dispute for the Senate, the candidacies of João Azevêdo (PSB) and Nabor Wanderley (Podemos). Convention calendar Conventions are events in which party members meet to choose candidates in elections. The deadline is August 5th.

Lucas Ribeiro began his career in public life as a councilor in Campina Grande, in Agreste da Paraíba, during the years 2017 and 2020, but left the role to take up a position at the city hall as Secretary of Science, Technology and Innovation. After that, between 2020 and 2022, he took over the ticket to be vice-mayor of Campina Grande, with Bruno Cunha Lima (União Brasil). Lucas Ribeiro is the son of Daniella Ribeiro (PP), current senator for Paraíba, and nephew of Aguinaldo Ribeiro (PP), federal deputy in the Chamber of Deputies. Most watched videos from g1 Paraíba
