An opponent of military rule and a skilled negotiator, he helped to found the Workers' party (PT) in 1980 and the Central Única dos Trabalhadores, a national trade union confederation, in 1983. In 1986 he was elected to the Brazilian congress and three years later he was the PT candidate for president, coming in second. His presidential runs in 1994 and 1998 ended similarly. Lula and the PT had moved from socialist to social democratic positions by the 2002 race, when he was elected president in runoff with more than 60% of the vote, a result that was partly a repudiation of President CardosoCardoso, Fernando Henrique

In 2016 Rousseff, who faced a political crisis and impeachment, appointed him as her chief of staff, but the appointment, which was seen by some as an attempt to protect da Silva from a corruption investigation, was suspended by the courts. Later in 2016 he was charged with being involved in the Petrobras corruption scandal and with having obstructed the investigation into it; he also faced additional associated corruption charges. He was convicted on one of the corruption charges in 2017 and jailed in 2018, and was convicted on a second corruption charge in 2019.
